ISO to go ahead with guidelines for social responsibility |
|
ISO is to develop an International Standard for
social responsibility. The objective is to produce "a guidance document,
written in plain language which is understandable and usable by
non-specialists" and not intended for use in certification.
The decision was taken at a senior ISO management meeting on 24-25 June 2004 in Stockholm, following an international conference in the Swedish capital earlier the same week on 21-22 June. The conference provided a platform for stakeholders to give their views on whether ISO should proceed with work addressing the social responsibility (SR) of organizations and, if so, what form it should take.
