Overview of Risk Management
Published in Abdul Razzak Rumane, Risk Management Applications Used to Sustain Quality in Projects, 2023
ISO is the world’s largest developer and publisher of international standards. ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. It is a nongovernmental organization that forms a bridge between the public and private sectors. ISO has more than 21,000 international standards. Of all the standards produced by ISO, the ones that are most widely known are the ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 series. ISO 9000 has become an international reference for quality requirements in business-to-business dealings, and ISO 14000 looks to achieve at least as much, if not more, in helping organizations to meet their environmental changes. ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 families are known as “generic management system standards”.

ISO 31000 is a family of risk management standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization. ISO 31000 provides a universal model for specialists and companies implementing risk management processes and aims to replace current standards, methodologies and models that vary depending on the industry, type of activity or region. Currently, the ISO 31000 family includes:ISO 31000:2018 Risk management – Principles and guidelines;ISO/IEC 31010:2009 Risk management – Risk management techniques;ISO Guide 73:2009 Risk management – Vocabulary; guidelines for use in standards.

International, regional, and national standards are distinguished by documented development procedures. These procedures have been designed to ensure that all interested parties that can be affected by a particular standard will have an opportunity to represent their interest and participate in the standards development process. For example, ISO standards are developed by technical committees consisting of experts from the industrial, technical, and business sectors who need the standards. Many national members of the ISO apply public review procedures to consult draft standards with the interested parties, including representatives of government agencies, industrial and commercial organizations, professional and consumer associations, and the general public (ISO, 2004). The ISO national bodies are expected to consider any feedback they receive and present a consensus position to the appropriate technical committees.
Sustainable supply chain management in the leather industry: a systematic literature review
Published in International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications, 2022

Research has shown that professional organisations developed international sustainable standards and labels in the leather industry, providing valuable references for investors and customers. Along with the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) standards introduced above, third-party certification bodies perform ISO certification and provide a seal of approval for companies. Among the standards they published, ISO 9000 and ISO 9001 (quality management systems), ISO 9004 (sustained success), ISO 14001 (environmental management systems), and ISO 45001 (social) are common reference standards employed in the leather industry (COTANCE 2020; Śmiechowski and Lament 2017). It is also essential to recognise that ISO 14001 is of high importance as a popular environmental management system (COTANCE 2020; Moktadir et al. 2018b), yet performs poorly in Bangladesh because of the failure of the leather industry to hold this certification (Islam et al. 2018).

As a result of the negative environmental impacts generated by operational activities of companies, they have expanded their investments in environmental systems and widely adopted voluntary environmental standards such as ISO 14001 (Lo, Yeung, and Cheng 2012; Su, Dhanorkarb, and Linderman 2015; Vastag and Melnyk 2002). Given the value and importance of this standard, various studies have been conducted to interpret and understand its operation and contribution to the environment and to analyse the growth of certificates worldwide (Nguyen and Hens 2015; Prakash and Potoski 2014; Salgado and Neves 2014; Testa et al. 2014; Zhang, Wang, and Wang 2014). These studies have generally shown that the ISO 14001 standard is capable of managing the reduction of emissions of various pollutants. Indeed, the ISO 14001 standard has been designed to help companies to structure, establish and master management processes in order to plan, control and improve their environmental performance, in particular by reducing the impact of their activities on the environment (Aravind and Christmann 2011; Sambasivan and Fei 2008).

In the other hand, existing standards guide companies on the management tools used to ensure sustainable development planning. Therefore, compliance with standards is also part of the organizations’ strategy (A. Gil-Lafuente and Barcellos de Paula 2011). Companies should analyze their strategy and decide which criteria they will use to select their suppliers. As indicated by the same authors, there is a set of standards that are published by official standards organizations that include ISO 14000 (environment), ISO 9000 (quality), EC EMAS (environment), BS 8800 (working conditions), and BS 8855 (environment). On the other hand, there is a set of standards that the market encourages its creation in areas such as safety and working conditions, social responsibility, among others. In this case, the ISO 26000 (social responsibility), SA 8000 (social rights), OHSAS 18001 (risks/accidents), ISO 45001 (health and safety at work), and AA 1000 (responsibility) are the most important (A. Gil-Lafuente and Barcellos de Paula 2011).
