This book provides a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the
ISO 26000 standard for social responsibility (SR) in businesses and
corporations. In addition to discussing the standard's focus on
various stakeholders and seven core topics, the book underscores
its key aspects and most debatable issues, with a focus on its
connection to sustainable business practices. It presents numerous
cases and practical examples of the ISO 26000's implementation and
discusses the outcomes and lessons learned, in terms of the extent
to which organizations can envision practicing CSR in ways that fit
their activities, stakeholders and environment. Lately, the ISO
26000 has proved to offer an interesting and important approach to
the standardization of (corporate) social responsibility.
Approached and perceived as a voluntary standard that does not
include any specific requirements, determining the best way to
implement and work with it involved a considerable amount of
experimentation. This book showcases the current state of
application and discusses how different countries have developed
their own specific versions of the standard, which organizations
can use to certify their SR processes.
