What is ISO 15392?

ISO 15392:2019 – Sustainability in Building Construction outlines fundamental sustainability principles such as resource efficiency, health and safety, environmental protection, and economic viability. It is not a technical standard with prescriptive measures but serves as a guiding document for incorporating sustainability objectives into policy, design, and implementation.

  5. Continuous compliance support and auditing readiness


Why is ISO 15392 important?

In an era of climate change, rising energy costs, and regulatory pressure, organizations in the construction and real estate sectors must go beyond compliance and demonstrate proactive environmental stewardship. ISO 15392:2019 helps companies adopt a holistic and integrated approach to sustainability, building credibility and long-term value in the marketplace.

Choosing ISO 15392 ensures your construction business aligns with international best practices, meets stakeholder expectations, and contributes to global sustainability goals, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
