WHAT IS ISO 31030?
ISO 31030:2021 is an international standard that offers guidance on Travel Risk Management for organisations. It was developed to assist organisations in managing the risks associated with travel, particularly for employees or representatives travelling on behalf of the organisation. ISO 31030 is critical to navigate the current travel risk environment. It reflects today's business travel concerns and provides a structured approach to the development, implementation, evaluation and review of a Travel Risk Management policy and programme, as well as an assessment and treatment of travel risks.
WHY DOES ISO 31030 MATTER?
By promoting a culture where travel-related risk is taken seriously, resourced adequately, and managed effectively, the standard aims to garner recognised and realised benefits such as:
- Contributing to business continuity capability and organisational resilience
- Improving worker confidence in travel-related health, safety and security arrangements
- Enabling business in high-risk locations
- Enhancing an organisation’s reputation and credibility – leading to a positive effect on competitiveness, staff turnover and talent acquisition
- Reducing legal and financial exposure
- Increasing general productivity
- Meeting sustainable development goals by strengthening the social dimension of sustainability
