HIP-250: Sustainability Standards Alignment Matrix. Status Draft. Hanzo's own standard — read this before implementing against it.
This HIP provides a comprehensive mapping between Hanzo AI's Responsible AI (HIP-200) and sustainability frameworks to global standards including NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act, environmental standards, and AI-specific governance frameworks. This matrix enables stakeholders to understand how Hanzo's commitments align with regulatory and voluntary standards.
