ISO 26000

ISO 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility in Final Stages of Development
Skip Navigation LinksSTR Corporate Portal > Home > News & Events > ISO 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility in Final Stages of Development










March 18, 2010

The future ISO 26000 standard, which gives guidance on social responsibility, is at the final stage of development before it gets published as a full-fledged ISO International Standard.

With support from ISO's national members and the 42 international liaison organizations participating in the ISO Working Group on Social Responsibility (ISO/WG SR), ISO 26000 will be progressed to a Final Draft International Standard (FDIS). This is the final stage of development of an ISO standard before publication.

To encourage the implementation of social responsibility worldwide, ISO 26000 will provide harmonized, globally relevant guidance based on international consensus among expert representatives of the main stakeholder groups. The guidance in ISO 26000 draws on best practices of existing public and private sector SR initiatives.

The next step for the ISO/WG SR is to address all comments received and prepare a final document for approval. ISO 26000 could be published as an International Standard by the end of this year.

Social Responsibility
Printable page

ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, has decided to launch the development of an International Standard providing guidelines for social responsibility (SR).

The guidance standard will be published in 2010 as ISO 26000 and be voluntary to use. It will not include requirements and will thus not be a certification standard.

There is a range of many different opinions as to the right approach ranging from strict legislation at one end to complete freedom at the other. We are looking for a golden middle way that promotes respect and responsibility based on known reference documents without stifling creativity and development.

Our work will aim to encourage voluntary commitment to social responsibility and will lead to common guidance on concepts, definitions and methods of evaluation.

The need for organizations in both public and private sectors to behave in a socially responsible way is becoming a generalized requirement of society. It is shared by the stakeholder groups that are participating in the WG SR to develop ISO 26000: industry, government, labour, consumers, nongovernmental organizations and others, in addition to geographical and gender-based balance.

ISO has chosen SIS, Swedish Standards Institute and ABNT, Brazilian Association of Technical Standards to provide the joint leadership of the ISO Working Group on Social Responsibility (WG SR). The WG SR has been given the task of drafting an International Standard for social responsibility that will be published in 2010 as ISO 26000.

We invite you to come and learn more about SR.

We also welcome you to support the ISO SR Trust Fund.
