Why are ISO Standards important for Not-for-Profit organisations? 

ISO Standards are important for not-for-profit organisations because they can help such entities to identify their organisational vision and objectives. The organisation can also benefit from achieving better capacity, efficiency and effectiveness in the execution of their functions. Achieving ISO certification will give them credibility with stakeholders and the public, thereby boosting their image and credibility.

• ISO 9001: ISO 9001 is important for not-for-profit organisations because it provides a framework for organisations to ensure that the services they provide are of consistently high quality and are delivered efficiently.
• ISO 27001: is important for not-for-profit organisations because they help protect the organisation from criminal attacks and civil lawsuits. They also help build trust in the public eye and demonstrate that you have strong security measures to combat potential threats.
• ISO 14001 (EMS): The ISO 14001 certification is an easy and efficient way to demonstrate to your donors, stakeholders and funders that you are committed to minimising any negative impacts on the environment.
• ISO 45001 (HSMS):  is designed to be used by organisations as a best practice framework that would help them to continually improve their risk management systems. ISO 45001:2018 establishes requirements and provides guidance on the selection, implementation, and ongoing improvement of Health & Safety Management Systems in an organisation.
• Implementing these standards ensures that not-for-profit organisations are up to the highest standards, making it crucial that organisations follow international standards.

What challenges do Not-for-Profit organisations face, and what are the solutions?

Not-for-profit organisations are dealing with increasing pressure on resources and the need for greater efficiency in managing and delivering services. The implementation of ISO standards can assist with this by providing a consistent approach to managing risks, a framework for developing policies, procedures and work methods, and evidence that can be used to ensure compliance with legislative obligations and provide best practice guidance.

The adoption of ISO standards has several benefits. These include a standardised way of doing things, building greater confidence in your organisation, driving improvements and more efficient ways of working through the application of best practices and repeatability.
