"You may notice, now and again, the ISO name and logo being used as a quality
label by public, non-profit or for-profit organizations. If you were to look a
little more often, you will likely see ISO is much more ubiquitous than you
first thought.

ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization. Initiated in
1947, its members (currently 128 full members) are national standards
organizations, like Standards Council of Canada or the American National
Standards Institute. ISO has, in its life span, published over 25,000 standards
covering technology, management and manufacturing through the work of expert
technical committees concerning a wide range of industries.

ISO standards affect the decisions and operations of millions of organizations
around the world. It is this ubiquity that makes ISO’s recent decision on
climate change significant."
