ISO 26000

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) created the standard ISO 26000:2010, which offers guidelines on social responsibility. In contrast to several other ISO standards, ISO 26000 provides assistance to assist enterprises in comprehending and successfully implementing social responsibility principles; it is not a certification standard.

Benefits:

• By offering a thorough framework that covers a variety of topics like human rights, labour practices, environmental sustainability, fair operating procedures, consumer issues, and community involvement, ISO 26000 assists in defining what social responsibility is.
• The standard helps companies and organisations turn social responsibility ideas into workable, efficient solutions. It provides advice on how to incorporate social responsibility into the operations, policies, and strategies of organisations.
• Global exchange of social responsibility best practices is facilitated by ISO 26000. It provides insightful analysis and practical illustrations of successful social responsibility initiatives by using the experiences and knowledge of a wide range of stakeholders, including enterprises, labour unions, government agencies, non-governmental organisations, and consumer groups.
• All kinds of businesses can use ISO 26000, regardless of their size, industry, or location. The guidelines offered by ISO 26000 can be customised to meet the unique requirements and conditions of any type of organisation, be it a government agency, non-profit, small or medium-sized firm (SME), or multinational corporation.
