ISO lays the foundations of ISO 26000 guidance

摘要

The future ISO 26000 standard giving guidance on social responsibility has taken a significant step forward with ISO deciding on the structure and overall contents, as well as fixing a target release date of last quarter 2008. The ISO Working Group on Social Responsibility (WG SR) laid the foundations of ISO 26000 at its second meeting, 26-30 September 2005, in Bangkok, Thailand. ISO 26000 will give organizations harmonized, internationally agreed guidance for social responsibility, drawing on best practice and consistent with relevant declarations and conventions by the United Nations and its constituents, notably the International Labour Office (ILO). The standard will not contain requirements allowing ISO 26000 to be used for certification.
