01 / About the standard

What this publication establishes.

ISO 30415 provides guidance for building diversity and inclusion into organizational governance, leadership, workforce practice, and stakeholder relationships. It asks organizations to consider responsibilities, actions, measures, and outcomes in their own context.

The guidance can be applied by organizations of different sizes and sectors. WSMI uses DISM to turn relevant inclusion commitments into owned services, documented controls, evidence, measures, and improvement decisions.

ISO-30415:DISM names the InclusionScore / WSMI methodology; ISO 30415:2021 names the ISO publication.

Scope and boundary

ISO 30415 is guidance, not a requirements-based management-system certification standard. Any DISM credential or organizational certification is a separate WSMI methodology and review process, not an ISO-issued certificate.

The WSMI architecture

Separate standards. Connected practice.

ISO 30415 provides inclusion governance that can guide the application of ISO 30201 to human work. InclusionScore operationalizes these disciplines by treating consequential organizational interactions as measurable services.

This integration is WSMI methodology. Neither ISO standard formally requires the other.

Professional pathways remain distinct: ISO-30415:DISM leads to ISO-30415:DIP; ISO-30201:HRSM leads to ISO-30201:HRMSP. Integrated development is optional.
