COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION ISO 37301

Type A management system standard which sets out the requirements and provides guidelines for establishing, developing, implementing, evaluating, maintaining, and continually improving a compliance management system (CMS). A CMS provides organizations a structured approach to meet all compliance obligations, i.e., requirements that they mandatorily have to comply with such as laws, regulations, court rulings, permits, licenses, as well as those that they voluntarily choose to comply with such as internal policies and procedures, codes of conduct, standards, and agreements with communities or NGOs.

CMS is based upon the principles of integrity, good governance, proportionality, transparency, accountability, and sustainability.
