TRAVEL RISK MANAGEMENT | ARE YOU READY FOR ISO 31030?
The origin and purpose of ISO 31030
The development of ISO 31030 was ISO’s response to growing anxiety about travel-related risk, amplified by the
COVID-19 pandemic. In recent years, many business travel surveys have highlighted a perception of increasingly
complex and intensifying risks and a greater focus on safety and security by corporate travel management teams.
ISO 31030 is designed to help organizations manage and prepare for the fast-changing, diverse threat landscape
surrounding business travel today and into the future.
ISO 31030 is the first global benchmark for travel risk management and—due to recent pandemic-induced
business travel issues—welcome guidance for the path forward. Safety-conscious organizations should be
planning for these risks and meeting a high duty of care threshold for all business trips.
Recognizing the context of risk is critical to being able to manage uncertainty effectively.
