Diversity, Equity and inclusion certification

Mid 2021, the International Organization for Standardization’s guidance on diversity and inclusion for organizations (ISO 30415:2021), therefore an extract of the ISO 30415:2021 release covers the important of developing an inclusive workplace requires an ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion (D&I) to address inequalities in organizational systems, policies, processes and practices, as well as people’s conscious and unconscious biases and behaviours.

In today’s increasingly interconnected world, recognizing and leveraging D&I can be critical for organizations seeking to increase innovation, and enhance their resilience, sustainability and reputation. Each organization is different and decision makers need to determine the most appropriate approach for integrating D&I into their strategy and business processes, based on their organizational context. To achieve D&I objectives, organizations need to be brave and committed to actively tackling sensitive issues and addressing non-inclusive behaviours and cultural norms, and unfair and discriminatory organizational practices, whether these are developed by people or associated with technologies.
