TS EN ISO 22301/A1

TS EN ISO 22301/A1: This amendment on climate action changes relates to the updated form of the business continuity management systems standard and places the subject within the broader security and resilience framework. It is not a standalone restatement of the full standard; the central topic is the adaptation of business continuity management system requirements in response to climate-action-related wording and context.

What a business continuity management system means

A business continuity management system is the organisational framework used to keep critical activities running, or to restore them within an acceptable time, when disruption occurs. In general technical terms, it combines risk identification, impact assessment, prioritisation of critical processes, response planning, and regular review. The ISO 22301 family treats business continuity as a management system, meaning a continual organisational process rather than a one-time plan.

Why climate action changes matter

Climate-action-related updates are generally associated with wording and conceptual adjustments that make climate-related hazards and transition effects more visible in resilience planning. In broader technical context, that can help organisations consider extreme weather, supply-chain disruption, infrastructure fragility, energy continuity, and stakeholder expectations when shaping continuity arrangements. This record therefore represents an amendment that aligns the base standard with updated climate-related language and framing.

• Identification and prioritisation of critical organisational activities
• Preparedness and response arrangements for disruption reduction
• Continual improvement and review within a management system model
• Consideration of climate-linked resilience issues in continuity planning
• Updated wording and conceptual alignment added to the base standard
