ISO 26000 (social responsibility)

ISO 26000 is an international standard providing guidance on how organizations can operate responsibly and ethically. It covers areas like fair labor practices, respect for human rights, environmental sustainability, ethical behavior, and community engagement. Unlike certification standards, it offers principles and best practices to help organizations contribute positively to society while maintaining trust and integrity. Essentially, ISO 26000 encourages companies to go beyond profit, considering their impact on people and the planet, and integrate social responsibility into every aspect of their operations in a transparent and accountable way.
