Introduction
The International Organization for Standardization has published the first ever international benchmark for
good governance with unanimous approval. The International Standard, ISO 37000, provides guidance for
the governance of organizations and a common language for all sizes and types of organizations across
jurisdictions.
“The pursuit of purpose is at the centre of all organizations and is, therefore, of primary importance for the
governance of organizations. Good governance of organizations lays the foundation for the fulfillment of the
purpose of the organization in an ethical, effective and responsible manner in line with stakeholder
expectations.” ISO 37000:2021
Good governance not only builds trust, it improves business performance and contributes to social and
environmental integrity. ISO 37000 provides governing bodies with the tools they need to govern well, such
that their organizations can perform effectively while behaving ethically and responsibly.
This internationally accredited course consists of two components:
- Modules in digital format – presented by the standard’s co-editor, Carolynn Chalmers, and provides an
excellent foundational understanding of ISO 37000. - Online Contact Sessions – presented by highly qualified and experienced governance professionals
