Case Study: Commonwealth States boost trade and collaboration with BSI

Commonwealth States boosts intra-Commonwealth trade 20% with BSI

The customer, Commonwealth States, faced the challenge of improving collaboration and boosting trade among its 53 member nations. They sought to increase the use of international standards to reduce trade barriers and drive economic growth, which required greater engagement from standards bodies like the vendor, BSI.

BSI collaborated with the Commonwealth Standards Network (CSN) to develop tailored resources, a dedicated online platform for information exchange, and training workshops. This solution fostered increased coordination and peer-to-peer learning. The results included strengthened intra-Commonwealth trade, which is over 20% higher than with non-members, and mutual investments exceeding $1 trillion.
