scope:

ISO 27500 describes to executive board members the values and beliefs that make an organization human-centred, the significant business benefits that can be achieved, what policies they need to put in place to achieve this, and the risks for the organization of not being human-centred. The document sets out high level human centred principles, which executive board members should endorse in order to optimize performance, minimize human-based risk, maximize wellbeing in their organization and enhance their relationships with customers. The importance of organisational policy to address humancentred risks is emphasized. This International Standard is not a management system standard.
