Today held the 2nd States General of the Corporate Responsibility . The ISO 26000 in preparation since 2004, aims to provide organizations (businesses, communities, NGOs, trade unions ... regardless of their size and their areas of action) guidelines for social responsibility. It also provided an international framework of behavior enabling them to measure their impact on society and the establishment of control procedures and improvements.
ISO 26000 meets the major international founding texts as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the conventions of the International Labor Organization ... It will be based on seven principles:
1. Accountability
2. Transparency
3. Ethical behavior
4. Respecting the interests of stakeholders
5. Principle of legality
6. Respect for international norms of behavior
7. Respect for human rights
Recall that the ISO includes organizations from 157 countries, including the AFNOR for France. For five years, experts have been working on the content of this standard to give " guidelines social responsibility" and intended to " organizations both public and private, both in industrialized countries than in developing countries, to operate in a socially responsible . After the adoption of the draft earlier this year and a final adjustment in Denmark in May, the IS0 26000 was finally passed in the summer and published on 1 November.
But ISO 26000 is a voluntary standard that provides guidelines. It is not intended for certification such as ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management): it is not " intended nor suitable for certification purposes or for use regulatory or contractual . Thus any organization, whether private, voluntary or governmental, is invited to use and apply this standard that promotes accountability, but does nothing. Does that mean that any organization can apply this standard without anyone having checked the specifications? A great tool almost free (140 € on the site of the ISO?) And no risk to proclaim himself "socially responsible"?
Active requires very active, I can not be present at the second general statements of corporate responsibility, however, tomorrow evening, Wednesday, December 8 debate is lively INSEEC (School where j ' I followed my studies it was not that long of it) on social responsibility of the entrepreneur in SMEs. Pray hard that the snow prevented any aircraft from landing Paris ... my day with my foreign client will be canceled and I can face the blizzard to get to 19h on the premises of the INSEEC. This is called a snowball effect.
