ISO 26000:2010 – Social Responsibility (CSR)

Stellar is one among the Top ISO 26000 Corporate Social Responsibility for Standards in India and is regarded as one of the best by all of our clients. Educational Organizations Management Systems ISO 26000 provides a platform for learners worldwide to be the main beneficiaries of this Standard.

ISO 26000 was prepared by ISO Working Group on Social Responsibility. The drafting process began in 2001 during the preparation phase, and the development phase began in 2004. Experts from 500 different organisations representing more than 99 countries were involved in various aspects of social responsibility. Six main stakeholder groups were involved; consumers; government; industry; labour; non-governmental organizations (NGOs); and service, support, research, academics and others.

After a lengthy process of deliberation and negotiation, the standard was finally released on 1st Nov 2010

ISO 26000 is an International Standard developed to help organizations effectively assess and address social responsibilities and thus contribute to sustainable environmental, social and economic development.

ISO 26000 is not a certifiable Standard, as it does not contain requirements and is not a management system standard but provides a guideline to maximize an organization’s contribution to sustainable development.
