The Sustainable Organisation understands the importance of incorporating sustainability principles with a culture of risk-based business management.

The Intertek Sustainability – Risk Management Standard brings these complimentary requirements together in a way that challenges the Organisation to ensure they incorporate a strong risk management culture guided by sustainability objectives. This includes understanding and managing supply chain partner risks. The standard is divided into four main components; Risk Strategy, Risk Process, Controls & Reporting, Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery and Insurance.

The Intertek Sustainability – Risk Management Standard will drive the Organisation to incorporate sustainability objectives at every phase of business operations and product realization, while proudly sharing its goals and accomplishments with relevant stakeholders. This wholistic approach to risk and sustainability will help the Organisation by Building Resilience Through Systemic Risk Management and Awareness.
