ISO 26000:2010 – The key to integrating responsible behavior in organizations
SustainAbility School #44
By attending this webinar, you will learn about:
Overview of ISO 26000:2010: ISO 26000 provides comprehensive guidance on social responsibility, helping organizations understand and improve their impact on society and the environment. Unlike certifiable standards, ISO 26000 is voluntary and intended to support sustainable development by promoting ethical behavior.
Core Subjects of Social Responsibility: The standard focuses on seven core subjects: organizational governance, human rights, labor practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement and development. Each core subject outlines specific issues and related actions for responsible business practices.
Global Relevance and Stakeholder Engagement: ISO 26000 was developed through international consensus, making it applicable across different cultural and organizational contexts. Engaging stakeholders and understanding their expectations are emphasized as critical aspects for organizations to act responsibly.
Alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): ISO 26000 supports the UN’s Agenda 2030 by linking social responsibility with the SDGs. Organizations using ISO 26000 can contribute meaningfully to global sustainable development by adhering to its guidelines.
Social Responsibility Beyond Philanthropy: The presentation clarifies that social responsibility goes beyond charitable giving; it requires a reciprocal approach that benefits all involved parties and integrates responsible practices throughout the organization’s operations.
