Which of the following is NOT a benefit of ISO?

  1. Improve efficiency of business operations

  2. Facilitate legal compliance across countries

  3. Promote unethical business practices

  4. Reduce negative impacts on the environment

The correct answer is: Promote unethical business practices

The correct answer is "C. Promote unethical business practices" because ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards are designed to promote quality, safety, and efficiency in various sectors. The core aim of ISO is to establish protocols and guidelines that encourage ethical behavior, operational excellence, and sustainability, rather than fostering unethical practices. ISO standards help organizations streamline processes, enhance customer satisfaction, and ensure compliance with regulations, all of which contribute to better business practices. Therefore, promoting unethical business practices goes against the very purpose of ISO standards. The other options illustrate legitimate benefits of ISO. For instance, improving efficiency of business operations is a key aspect of many ISO standards, which aim to optimize processes. Facilitating legal compliance across countries is also a significant advantage, as ISO helps businesses adhere to various international laws and regulations. Additionally, reducing negative impacts on the environment is a crucial benefit of certain ISO standards, particularly those focusing on environmental management systems.
