COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

What is the ISO 37301:2021 standard?

In a constantly evolving and increasingly complex regulatory scenario, the emergence of new responsibilities and reputational risks have pushed Organizations to be increasingly attentive to compliance issues. The ISO 37301:2021 standard allows organizations aiming for long-term success to establish and maintain a culture of compliance, considering the needs and expectations of interested parties. In fact, organizations that define and put into practice a culture of compliance pay attention to the needs and expectations of stakeholders, increase the actual value of the organization, and create sustainable value in the long term.

ISO 37301:2021 is an international standard that enables the implementation, evaluation, maintenance, and improvement of a corporate compliance Management System. This standard allows companies to adopt an integrated approach to controlling compliance risks and emphasizes a corporate culture based on responsible and aware conduct and behavior at all levels of the organization, starting from top management.
