Description

Organisations seeking to approach CSR in a structured and reliable manner can benefit greatly from the ISO 26000 guidelines for social responsibility. 4B Solutions, with a tailor-made assessment tool, can measure a programme’s performance and identify improvements and risks linked to an organisation’s business strategy. Social responsibility has become a major topic in recent years, arising from mounting pressure from the public sphere and stakeholders at large. The need for credible business practices that demonstrate social responsibility, performance, as well as achieving outstanding results, is clear. To respond to these issues, the International Organization for Standardization launched the first voluntary guidance on Corporate Social Responsibility. The aim is to actively promote credible reporting, company accountability and improve market performance. The core subjects identified in ISO 26000 are related to different areas and are closely tied to the governance strategy of the organisation: Human Rights Labour Practices Environment Operating Practices Consumer Community and Development
