Summary/Abstract: Economic, environmental and social pillars of sustainable development are directly related to ISO standards. Organizations are aware that international standards provide effective tools that will help them cope with the challenges of the modern business world. In Serbia, the pillars of sustainable development are connected to ISO standards in the following way - the economic pillar is directly connected to standardization by ISO 9001 and ISO 31000, the ecological pillar with ISO 14001, and the social pillar with ISO 45001 and ISO 26000. This paper aims to indicate the state of standardization in the areas of sustainable development in Serbia, placing special emphasis on ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. The final result of this manuscript would be that all interested parties (individuals, state and private institutions, government, etc. ) have to work together to realize the goals of sustainable development, using the ISO standards tools.
