ISO 31000:2018 is the international standard for risk management that provides guidelines applicable to organisations of all sizes and industries. It helps organisations design, implement, evaluate and improve risk management principles, frameworks and processes to achieve strategic and business objectives, manage uncertainty, reduce risk and identify opportunities.

ISO 31000 is important because it helps organisations manage complex and evolving risks arising from global uncertainty, emerging technologies, geopolitical changes, financial volatility and other disruptions. Applying ISO 31000 guidelines enables organisations to mitigate risks, identify opportunities and protect long-term value.

The main focus areas of ISO 31000:2018 are its risk management principles, risk management framework and risk management process. Together, these support consistent risk practices, informed decision-making, risk mitigation and the protection of organisational value across all levels of the business.
