ISO 26000 is the new guideline from the International Organisation for

provides global standards used internationally as a reference and benchmark
for organisations, such as ISO 14000 for environmental management; and
ISO 9000 for quality management. This standard is set to shape the future of
responsible business.
The new ISO 26000 guideline aims to provide practical assistance related to
operationalising social responsibility, identifying and engaging with
stakeholders, and enhancing credibility of reports and claims made about
social responsibility.
