ISO 37000:2021 sets out principles for governing bodies, purpose, value generation, strategy, oversight, accountability, stakeholder engagement, leadership, data and decisions, risk governance, social responsibility and viability. It anchors the ISO 37000 governance series, including ISO 37001, 37002 and 37301. We run governance reviews and board effectiveness work against it.
