ISO 26000 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Guidelines

build a socially responsible organization

ISO 26000 aims to offer guidance and recommendations on how to improve corporate social responsibility (CSR) and how to build a socially responsible organization. Companies need to focus on societal, environmental, legal, cultural, and organizational diversity while implementing the ISO 26000 guidelines. ISO 26000 is not a management system standard, but a social responsibility guideline for which TÜV SÜD can do assessments.

The Core Subjects Addressed by ISO 26000 are as Follows:

1. Organizational governance
2. Human rights
3. Labor practices
4. Environment
5. Fair operating practices
6. Consumer Issues
7. Community Involvement and development

The ISO 26000 standard provides you with:

• A number of internationally agreed upon expectations of what constitutes 'responsible behavior'.
• Principles and core subjects of social responsibility.
• A way to integrate socially responsible behaviors into the strategies, systems, practices and processes of your organization.

• Elements which maximize the contribution towards sustainable development of your operations and further integrate sustainability issues in your daily activities.

• Tools for social responsibility reporting.

• A way to improve relations with customers, investors, the media and government agencies.
