Stewardship

BSI values sustainability. We pursue the goal of no harm to people, and we aim to protect the environment, and have taken steps to begin reporting its own social and environmental performance.We regularly measure, manage, and report on our goals of:

  • Minimizing our carbon and environmental footprint as embodied in ISO 14001 standards
  • Minimizing our negative externalities as identified in the UN Global Compact and the SA8000 standard

This year we published our carbon footprint results as the first step in the direction of global reporting. Over time we intend to expand our reporting to include social and human impact
