With the increasing desires and aspirations of customers and stakeholders to engage with more committed and sustainable organizations, the principles of social responsibility have become a strategic necessity, not an optional or supplementary consideration. The ISO 26000 standard is the ideal framework for building a responsible corporate image, fostering a position of trust in the market, pride among the workforce, and acceptance by partners and investors as well.
At MQM, we fully believe that every company, no matter its size or influence, can be part of positive change…and we help them do so through a set of professional and thoughtful steps.
What is iso 26000 social responsibility?
ISO 26000 refers to an international standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which aims to guide and direct organizations of all sizes and sectors to implement the concept of social responsibility comprehensively and effectively.
This specification does not grant an organization accreditation, but rather provides a comprehensive framework for integrating social responsibility into the entire corporate culture, decision-making processes, supply chains, work practices, and other procedures and operations.
This standard covers seven key areas:
- Corporate Governance
- Respect for Human Rights
- Adherence to Ethical Standards in Business Practices
- Environmental Protection
- Fair Labor Practices
- Concern for Consumer Issues
- Community Participation and Development
Why is ISO 26000 a necessity for your organization?
Because reputation can’t be bought, and trust is built!
Implementing ISO 26000 means you’re not just delivering a good product or service, but also delivering real societal value.
Among the most important strategic benefits of ISO 26000 social responsibility are:
- It plays a pivotal role in improving the organization’s reputation and increasing customer and community confidence.
- Providing a better work environment, thus attracting talent and competencies interested in sustainability and responsibility.
- It gives the organization a strong competitive advantage, as it will be distinguished by its ethical and societal values.
- Expanding the scope of work by enhancing opportunities for international partnerships and presence in global markets that prefer dealing with responsible suppliers.
- In addition to the role of ISO 26000 in supporting sustainability strategies and reducing risks related to the overall appearance of the organization.
