Is your business responsible?

With the new ISO 9004 standard focussing on sustainability, more and more organisations are now recognising the need for a formal standard for all areas of social responsibility including the environment, human rights and fair operating practices.

The International Standards Organisation (ISO) is currently writing a standard to formalise the requirements for ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’.

The new standard, ISO 26000, and will be published in 2010.   The standard is attracting attention from many governments across the world so this could be a requirement not only for large organisations but long term, for any business  supplying central and local government.
