BSI EDUCATION PODCAST - Standards and the SDGs

Episode 7. The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action by all countries. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve oceans and forests. In this episode we hear from Vimal Mahendru, President of Legrand-India and IEC Ambassador, about his personal ‘standards journey’, his role as IEC Ambassador for the SDGs, and the power of standards to help tackle global challenges. The BSI EDUCATION PODCAST is hosted by Matthew Chiles - Educational Development Manager at BSI, and Alan Sellers - Senior Compliance Manager at Dyson and Chair of BSI’s Young Professionals Advisory Panel.
