ISO and UNDP launch world’s first International Standard to advance action on the Sustainable Development Goals

Paris, France, 28 September 2026 – ISO and UNDP today launched ISO/UNDP 53001, Management systems for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – Requirements, live from the first day of the ISO Annual Meeting. The new standard is the world’s first International Standard providing organizations with a structured management system to integrate the SDGs into strategy, governance and operations.

As governments, businesses and institutions face growing expectations to demonstrate meaningful progress on sustainable development, ISO/UNDP 53001 provides a globally agreed approach to help organizations move beyond commitment towards measurable implementation and continual improvement.

ISO/UNDP 53001, for the first time, provides concrete tools to enable organizations to identify priorities, establish objectives, integrate them into existing processes and measure performance over time. As a requirements-based management system standard, it provides a consistent basis for demonstrating that an organization’s approach meets defined requirements, strengthening accountability and confidence in the actions taken.

The launch comes at a moment when the way national development priorities are financed and delivered is changing rapidly. With public development resources under increasing pressure and the scale of sustainable development needs far exceeding what public finance alone can meet, businesses and private investment will play an increasingly important role in advancing national and global development priorities. This makes credible, internationally recognized systems for translating sustainability commitments into business practice more important than ever.

ISO/UNDP 53001 provides a foundation for that emerging architecture. By giving organizations a common framework to integrate sustainable development priorities into governance, strategy, operations and decision-making, the standard can help businesses strengthen sustainability management while giving governments, investors, development institutions and other stakeholders greater confidence in how commitments are implemented and measured.

ISO Secretary-General Sergio Mujica said the launch represents an important step in supporting organizations to make measurable progress towards the SDGs.

“The SDGs have provided a shared global vision for a decade. Today, organizations are looking for concrete ways to translate that vision into action,” Mr Mujica said.

“International Standards have long helped organizations address complex global challenges by providing a common language and a shared framework for action. We are delighted to launch ISO/UNDP 53001 today, extending this proven approach to the SDGs and helping organizations create positive impact for people and planet.”

UNDP identified ISO as its international standards development partner for the initiative, bringing together UNDP’s expertise in sustainable development with ISO’s global standardization system and network of national standards bodies.

Marcos Neto, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Director of UNDP’s Bureau for Policy and Programme Support stated that achieving the SDGs will depend on organizations of every kind playing an active role in advancing sustainable development.

“The SDGs provide a shared blueprint for a more inclusive and prosperous future. Achieving that requires organizations everywhere to turn ambition into action,” Mr Neto said.

“We are proud to launch ISO/UNDP 53001 alongside ISO as a crucial tool to help organizations embed the SDGs into the way they operate, lead and govern. By making sustainability part of everyday decision-making, the standard can help accelerate progress towards the 2030 Agenda.”

Jens Heiede, Chief Executive Officer of Danish Standards, said developing the world’s first International Standard dedicated to the SDGs required international collaboration to build consensus across a broad range of sectors and perspectives.

“Creating a standard that could be applied by organizations of every size, sector and geography required extensive collaboration between experts from around the world. Together, we developed a practical and internationally agreed set of requirements that organizations can apply with confidence,” Mr Heiede said.

“It has been a privilege for Danish Standards to lead the technical committee behind ISO/UNDP 53001. We look forward to seeing organizations use the standard to demonstrate accountability and deliver meaningful sustainability outcomes.”

Through ISO’s network of national standards bodies, ISO/UNDP 53001 could support greater consistency across countries and economies. It offers organizations, governments and policymakers a common reference point for translating sustainable development priorities into measurable action.

The new standard integrates smoothly with other management system standards, such as ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management. By building on existing processes, organizations can reduce duplication, improve efficiency and take a more coherent approach to managing risks, meeting commitments and achieving strategic objectives.

The standard is intended for businesses, governments, educational institutions, civil society organizations and other organizations seeking to align their activities with the SDGs. Its flexible approach enables users to focus on the SDGs most relevant to their purpose, context and stakeholders.

ISO/UNDP 53001 is designed to provide long-term value by supporting the current SDGs and any subsequent global goals that supersede the 2030 Agenda. Like all ISO International Standards, it will undergo ISO’s regular systematic review process to help ensure it remains relevant, fit for purpose and responsive to evolving international priorities and best practice.

ISO and UNDP intend to work with partners across the multilateral system to support its implementation, including through sector-specific guidance that can connect global development priorities with the realities of different industries and markets.

The launch of ISO/UNDP 53001 is a key feature of the ISO Annual Meeting, hosted by AFNOR in Paris, France, from 28 September to 2 October 2026. Under the theme Building trust in a changing world, the Annual Meeting is bringing together global leaders, policymakers and standards experts to explore the role of International Standards in addressing the world’s most pressing challenges.

Integration strengthens cross-border capabilities and expands access to Ascentium Group’s global expertise and services

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — InCorp Advisory India, an Ascentium Company, which has built a comprehensive portfolio of professional and advisory services for businesses operating in India and across borders since 2019, has officially rebranded as Ascentium India, completing its transition to Ascentium, a Singapore-headquartered global business services group. 

The transition marks the completion of a phased integration, bringing the firm’s expertise, people and client relationships under one identity. The business will now operate as Ascentium India with the same leadership and teams, while gaining access to Ascentium’s expertise and presence across 27 markets. 

“This is more than a new name. It completes our integration into a global company built for clients operating across borders and increasingly complex jurisdictions. We now pair deep understanding of India’s regulatory and business environment with global scale, technology and cross-border reach. Our people, our leadership and our client relationships remain at the heart of what we do. What has changed is the depth of expertise we can bring to our clients,” said Manish Modi, CEO, Ascentium India. 

A Global Company Built Through Strategic Growth 

Ascentium was founded in 2024 with Lennard Yong as Group CEO and Wendy Wang as Group President, and has grown rapidly through the integration of established specialist businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other key markets. 

These include InCorp Global, Harneys Fiduciary, Links International, Marbury, Virtuzone, ZICO Corporate Services, Clara Technologies, Dezan Shira & Associates, and MGI Dobbyn Carafa, among other specialist businesses across its global footprint. 

This approach reflects Ascentium’s broader growth strategy: bringing together established, locally rooted businesses and their specialist expertise under a common global identity, while retaining the leadership, knowledge and relationships that have made those businesses successful. Ascentium India has followed the same approach, bringing together complementary capabilities and specialist teams to build a broader and more integrated business in India.

The business also holds a significant investment in Zolvit (formerly VakilSearch), further extending its access to technology-led business services and digital capabilities. 

Amita Desai & Co. significantly strengthened the existing Corporate Secretarial practice, bringing greater depth of expertise and enabling the firm to offer more comprehensive, end-to-end corporate law advisory and secretarial compliance services. Ken & Co. further enhanced capabilities across cybersecurity, data privacy, governance, risk and compliance, while TMSL expanded the firm’s tax and automation capabilities. 

Together, these acquisitions and investments have created a broader and more integrated platform in India, bringing together complementary expertise, technology and specialist teams while retaining the leadership, domain knowledge and client relationships of the businesses involved. 

A Differentiated Model for Clients 

Ascentium India is building its client proposition around four principles: continuity of senior leadership, accessible decision-making, institutional governance and investment ahead of client demand. 

“Four principles shape how we work with clients: continuity of senior leadership, accessible decision-making, strong governance and investment ahead of demand. We keep senior leaders closely engaged, maintain a lean structure that enables quick decisions, and hold ourselves to high standards of governance and accountability. At the same time, we continue to invest in technology, talent and capabilities to deliver long-term client value,” added Manish Modi. 

Ascentium India offers expertise across a comprehensive range of services spanning Global Expansion, Tax & Structures, Managed Services, Risk Advisory, Regulatory & Governance Advisory, Investment Banking, Fund Services, Sustainability & ESG, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, among others.

Aon Launches Power Lifecycle Program to Support Conventional Gas Power Projects Powering Digital Infrastructure Growth

New multiline insurance solution offers up to $2.5 billion in coverage across construction and operations for utility and digital infrastructure clients

DUBLIN, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced the launch of its Power Lifecycle Program (PLP), a new integrated insurance solution designed to support conventional gas power projects from construction through testing, commissioning and into operations.

Reliable power generation is becoming increasingly important as demand for digital infrastructure, cloud computing and artificial intelligence accelerates. PLP is designed to help organizations investing at scale in power generation – whether behind the meter for dedicated digital infrastructure or in front of the meter to serve broader grid demand – address the growing risks associated with power assets required to meet rising energy needs.

“As investment in energy infrastructure continues to grow, organizations require risk solutions that evolve alongside increasingly complex power assets,” said Joe Peiser, CEO of Risk Capital, Aon. “Our Power Lifecycle Program provides a coordinated insurance solution from construction, testing and commissioning through to operation. By bringing multiple coverages together within a single lifecycle framework, Aon’s Power Lifecycle Program helps clients take a more holistic approach to managing project, operational and infrastructure risk.”

A Lifecycle Approach to Power Risk

Developing a conventional power project involves managing interconnected risks across construction, testing, commissioning and early operations – and a loss or interruption at any stage can affect schedules, financing commitments and anticipated revenue – particularly when insurance is arranged separately at each stage. PLP’s lifecycle model moves insurance from a series of disconnected placements to a single coordinated risk-transfer strategy that supports a project from site selection and construction through commissioning and ongoing operations. The result is generally better continuity of cover, reduced coverage gaps, improved capital efficiency, and greater confidence for developers, owners, lenders and investors.

Key features of PLP generally include:

• Up to $2.5 billion in Erection All Risks and Delay in Startup coverage per project, for the construction, testing and commissioning periods
• Up to $2.5 billion in Operational Property Damage and Business Interruption coverage per project, for the immediate operational period
• Up to $100 million of Construction and Operational Third-Party Liability (excluding U.S. Projects)
• Clients can opt for a tailored risk advisory assessment of the risk to projects from natural catastrophe, climate, cyber, casualty, supply chain and business interruption risks, delivering enterprise resilience from site selection through to portfolio scale. Risk Engineering and Casualty consulting available.

The program is underpinned by a lead panel of London-based carriers, combining power-sector expertise with meaningful capacity for global clients. Beyond the lead panel, the balance of capacity is predominantly London-based, complemented by significant participation from key local and global markets, providing the breadth, resilience and reach required to support projects worldwide.

PLP is available to power infrastructure developers, private equity firms funding power project developments, contractors controlling construction cover and power infrastructure owners for both grid-connected standalone conventional gas power projects and dedicated projects supporting data centers.

The launch comes as the rapid expansion of data centers drives significant investment in conventional power generation capacity and builds on Aon’s established position supporting digital infrastructure clients through the Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program that expanded to $5 billion in capacity in July 2026. Together, the two programs reflect Aon’s lifecycle approach to helping clients build, operate and scale critical infrastructure with greater confidence.

About Aon

Aon plc (NYSE: AON) exists to shape decisions for the better — to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. Through actionable analytic insight, globally integrated Risk Capital and Human Capital expertise, and locally relevant solutions, our colleagues provide clients in over 120 countries with the clarity and confidence to make better risk and people decisions that help protect and grow their businesses.

Alive App Raises $1 Million From Powerhouse Ventures and Flipkart Ventures to Accelerate India’s Experience Economy

Experience-tech platform expands to six markets with 500+ experiences and 400+ creators

Targets 3X revenue growth in the next few months, as it seeks to make experiences a default part of urban India’s weekends

BENGALURU, India, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Alive App, India’s AI powered experience-tech platform for building and distributing new and unique experiences, has raised $1 million in a new funding round led by Powerhouse Ventures and Flipkart Ventures. The capital will support the company’s next phase of product and supply expansion as it works to make experiences a more frequent and habitual part of how urban Indians spend their leisure time.

The investment from Flipkart Ventures also creates opportunities for Alive App to explore synergies across the broader Flipkart ecosystem as it builds new pathways for consumer discovery, engagement and access to experiences at scale.

The new capital will be used to strengthen Alive App’s product and technology capabilities and accelerate the creation and availability of experiences across its existing markets. The company is targeting 3X revenue growth in the next few months and plans to focus on increasing the frequency with which consumers use Alive App, with the goal of making the platform a default companion for weekend discovery. The company has also achieved its first profitable quarter in Bengaluru, its first and largest market, as it continues to build density across cities.

Alive App is seeing this shift play out on its platform. The company is now present across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi and Goa, offering more than 500 experiences across categories including adventure, food, wellness, art, culture and learning. Its creator ecosystem has grown to over 400 creators and partners. Over the last six months, it has expanded into Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi, in addition to its presence in Goa. The company’s experience supply in the newly launched markets of Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Goa has grown five times faster than during its initial expansion phase, with Alive App now adding approximately 100 new experiences every month. The rapid expansion follows a broader shift in how consumers are spending their leisure time. According to Alive App’s platform data, more than 90% of bookings are for local experiences, with consumers increasingly choosing activities closer to home rather than treating experiences purely as part of travel.

The company’s growth reflects the evolution of India’s experience economy from an occasional, travel-led activity into a more regular part of urban consumption. Alive App’s platform combines technology with a curated and largely exclusive supply of experiences, working with creators to conceptualise, build and launch experiences rather than simply aggregating existing listings. With the latest round, Alive App’s focus shifts from establishing the category across individual cities to building the habit around it and making discovery of experiences as routine a part of the weekend as choosing a restaurant, watching a movie or planning a day out.

Supporting Quotes

Vivek Kumar, Founder & CEO, Alive App, said, “Over the last year, the biggest validation for us has been seeing how quickly experiences are being adopted as an upgrade to weekend plans in every city we enter. Mumbai and Chennai are growing much faster than Bengaluru did in its early months, while our supply in the newly launched cities has grown five times faster than in our initial expansion phase. We are now adding around 100 new experiences every month. The opportunity ahead is to make Alive App the default weekend companion for urban India, something people return to every week to discover what they want to do next.”

Kshitij Golwalkar, General Partner, Powerhouse Ventures, said, “Alive App stands out as one of the most differentiated and capital-efficient companies we have seen in this category. What is particularly compelling is how the team is using AI not only as a product feature, but across the business to rethink how consumer technology companies can be built, scaled and operated in India. We believe this combination of a strong consumer proposition, differentiated supply and an AI-led operating model gives Alive App the potential to be a leader in India’s rapidly growing experience economy.”

About Alive App

Alive App is an experience-tech platform focused on helping urban consumers discover and experience curated activities across adventure, food, wellness, art, culture, learning and more. The platform currently operates across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi and Goa, with 500+ experiences and 400+ creators and partners. Founded by Vivek Kumar, Alive App is building technology and supply infrastructure for India’s emerging experience economy.

Virat Kohli Breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s ODI Records, Becomes Fastest to 15,000 Runs and Hits 55th Century

Thiruvananthapuram, Sept. 28: Virat Kohli once again etched his name into the record books with a stunning performance against the West Indies in the first ODI. His unbeaten 139 not only powered India to an eight-wicket victory but also saw him break two major ODI records previously held by legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar.

 Representational Image 

Kohli Reaches 15,000 ODI Runs in Just 303 Innings

Kohli became only the second batter in ODI history to reach 15,000 runs, joining Sachin Tendulkar in the elite club.

What makes the achievement even more remarkable is the speed at which Kohli reached the milestone. He completed 15,000 ODI runs in just 303 innings, breaking Tendulkar’s previous record of 377 innings.

Kohli therefore reached the landmark 74 innings faster than Tendulkar.

More Than 7,000 ODI Runs on Home Soil

Kohli’s unbeaten 139 also helped him surpass another major Tendulkar record — the most ODI runs scored in India.

Tendulkar had accumulated 6,976 ODI runs in India. Kohli went past that mark during his memorable innings and became the first batter to cross the 7,000-run mark in ODIs on Indian soil.

55th ODI Century

The record-breaking performance was capped by another major milestone.

Kohli’s unbeaten 139 brought up his 55th ODI century, further extending his record for the most ODI centuries in men’s cricket.

Three major milestones in one memorable innings — 15,000 ODI runs, more than 7,000 ODI runs in India, and a 55th ODI century.

While India secured an eight-wicket victory over the West Indies, Kohli’s unbeaten 139 emerged as the defining highlight of the match, adding another remarkable chapter to his illustrious ODI career.
