Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) aims to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. This goal is essential for human health, environmental sustainability, and economic prosperity. At ISO, we are committed to supporting SDG 6 through our standards, which provide frameworks and solutions that improve water management, sanitation services, and water quality.
How ISO Standards Support SDG 6
ISO standards play a vital role in supporting SDG 6 by addressing key aspects of water and sanitation management. Our standards help organizations and communities improve water quality, enhance water use efficiency, and implement effective sanitation practices. Here are some of the relevant standards:
- Provides guidelines for the assessment and improvement of water and wastewater services, enhancing the quality and reliability of these essential services.
- Helps water utilities and municipalities to improve their performance and meet user needs more effectively.
