This document specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving a circular economy management system that an organization can use to enhance its circularity performance. The document is intended for use by an organization seeking to integrate circular economy as a strategic priority. The circular economy management system will support the organization to use a systemic approach to contribute to the maintenance of a circular flow of resources in society by recovering, retaining or adding to their value, while contributing to sustainable development. The requirements set out in this document is generic and will provide value for the society, the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. The document will support an organisation to understand how its value network (e.g. suppliers and customers) will be affected by decisions taken by the organisation and give organizations within the value network a system of interconnected and interdependent decisions and activities. Consistent with the organization's policy for a circular economy, the expected results of a circular economy management system include: • enhancement of the circularity performance. • a system for compliance obligations. • a system for achievement of environmental, social, and economic objectives. • increased long-term value creation. This document is applicable to any organization seeking to understand and commit or contribute to a circular economy. These organizations can be either private or public, acting individually or collectively, regardless of type or size, and located in any jurisdiction, or position within a specific value chain or value network. This document can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve management towards circularity. Claims of conformity to this International Standard, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's management system and fulfilled without exclusion.

ISO 59004 is a part of the ISO 59000 family of standards, specifically designed to foster a shift towards a circular economy. This standard provides comprehensive guidance applicable to any type of organization. It includes defining key terms and concepts, outlining a vision for a circular economy, elucidating core principles, and offering practical guidance for actionable steps towards sustainability. The standard aims to support organizations in contributing to the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development by facilitating a transition to a circular use of resources.

ISO/AWI TS 25481 Governance for DAOs in Blockchain and DLT

This project will specify the governance model for DAOs regarding three facets; IN CHAIN FACET: infrastructure level, where DAO membership requires an entity to only run a node of the DLT network (e.g. join a permissioned DLT network). ON CHAIN FACET: transaction and smart contract level, where DAO membership requires an entity to interact with a specific smart contract, or send specific transactions (e.g. register with a particular smart contract). OFF CHAIN FACET: non DLT system level, where DAO membership requires an entity to perform additional non-DLT activities (e.g. protect data privacy). The three facets can be used individually or as a blend in any variation for completeness as the minimum governance.This project will specify the governance model for DAOs regarding three facets; IN CHAIN FACET: infrastructure level, where DAO membership requires an entity to only run a node of the DLT network (e.g. join a permissioned DLT network).
