The International Standards Ooganization (ISO) is set to release the 26000 standard later this year. The document is full of information and choice quotes for the picking. Below is one of them:
ISO 26000 will add value to existing initiatives for social responsibility
by providing harmonized, globally relevant guidance based
on international consensus among expert representatives
of the main stakeholder groups and so encourage the implementation
of best practice in social responsibility worldwide.
It is Clear The Air’s opinion – and the international consensus – that corporations selling products that kill its customers cannot, by definition, be socially responsible.
The ISO document is after the jump.
