ISO 30415:2021 Certification

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

What is the ISO 30415:2021 standard?

The first ISO standard on Diversity, ISO 30415:2021 - Human Resource Management Diversity and Inclusion, defines guidelines for a Diversity & Inclusion framework in the field of Human Resource Management. ISO 30415:2021 effectively represents a valuable guide for the effective application of "Diversity & Inclusion" principles in business processes, governing bodies, and more generally, for all relevant stakeholders, introducing an approach based on a true Management System aimed at continuous improvement. The standard fills a regulatory gap and brings clarity to a young sector like Diversity & Inclusion, and will lead business leaders to concretely demonstrate their commitment to diversity and inclusion with active, not theoretical, practices.

Passing an audit against ISO 30415:2021 can significantly reduce reputational damage resulting from discriminatory behaviors, maintaining expectations and increasing consumer and stakeholder trust. The assessment of the maturity level of the Diversity & Inclusion framework, carried out by a third-party body, provides reasonable assurance to stakeholders of the organization's commitment and efforts in Human Resource Management.
