ISO 17298: Biodiversity for organizations – Guidelines and Requirements

This ISO standard provides a practical, scalable framework that can help your organisation to assess its biodiversity impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities and take measurable, accountable action to protect and restore biodiversity. It offers a structured roadmap that enables organisations to assess biodiversity-related impacts and consider these effectively in their strategies. It embeds biodiversity into core governance and risk management practices, better ensuring alignment with global expectations and organisational operations. This standard is designed to be interoperable with other widely used initiatives, such as ISO 14001, ISO 26000, TNFD, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and contributes directly to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
