ISO 26000 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization to provide comprehensive guidance on social responsibility. It is intended for organizations of all sizes and sectors, including public and private entities, and serves as a voluntary framework rather than a certifiable management system. The standard aims to help organizations operate in an ethical and transparent manner, integrating social and environmental considerations into their decision-making and overall strategy.
The standard outlines seven core subjects of social responsibility: organizational governance, human rights, labor practices, environmental responsibility, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement and development. By adhering to the principles of ISO 26000 such as accountability, transparency, and respect for stakeholder interests organizations can enhance their credibility, foster trust with stakeholders, and contribute to sustainable development. It serves as a valuable tool for aligning organizational practices with globally recognized norms and expectations for responsible conduct.
