Understand and Apply ISO New Climate Change Requirements

Clause 4.1 related to the context of the organization adds a requirement for organizations to determine whether climate change is relevant to their management systems. It may be tempting to answer "no" but, if the supply chain and continuity of operations are subject to weather-related risks, it is indeed relevant. Clause 4.2 related to the needs and expectations of interested parties adds that stakeholders may have climate-related requirements.

Climate change is important but not urgent. Important means it is a fact of nature, and the planet's history underscores just how extensive it can be. A climate-driven event like a drought or hurricane can affect supply chains, and organizations need to mitigate risks accordingly.

Major ISO standards including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001 have been amended to include new requirements related to climate change. The good news is that, if your organization has a process in place to address climate-related risks to continuity of operations, it may already be doing everything necessary.

Numerous off-the-shelf techniques, such as ISO 50001:2018, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and government programs, are available for this purpose.
