ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the developer and publisher of more than 19 200 voluntary International Standards. But do they contribute to the economic returns of countries and companies? In other words “What is the bottom line”?
This new brochure provides answers by giving examples in hard figures of the benefits of implementing ISO’s and other voluntary, consensus-based standards
- For the global economy and a number of national economies
- For individual companies from different sectors and countries.
this also re-enforces the Alcoa story who – whilst not aiming directly at standards – followed all the principles to become as successful as they did
Of course there will be scepticism BUT “there is no smoke without fire” and some of the stats are impressive.
