Developing Countries Contribute to ISO 26000

How Developing Countries Contribute to ISO 26000

by Perla Puterman

This article looks at the significant role played by developing countries in the development of ISO 26000.

The development process of ISO 26000 was special in a number of respects, particularly with regard to the efforts made to ensure the participation of developing countries.

For example, ISO implemented the principle of twinning (twin leadership between a developed and developing country) in the ISO Working Group on Social Responsibility (ISO/WG SR) to a greater extent than had yet been carried out in a any ISO standards development group. This meant that not only the WG, but also each sub-working group and any other group that was established was headed by representatives of developing countries and developed countries on an equitable basis.

By the end of the five-year development process, experts and observers from 99 ISO member countries were involved and of these, 69 were from developing nations. In addition, six main stakeholder groups were represented: industry; government; labour; consumers: nongovernmental organizations; service, support, research and others, as well as a geographical and gender-based balance of participants. Lastly, 42 public and private sector organizations also took part.

These steps enriched the development process and ensured inclusion and transparency.

In the event, the participation of developing country experts increased from 105 in September 2005 to 221 in May 2009, many of whom actively attended the plenary meetings of the WG with the support from donors, particularly the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and the Government of Finland.

In order to increase the communication among experts involved in the development of ISO 26000, an ad hoc group was created, the “Developing Country Contact Group (DCCG)”. This was done in 2005 during the developing country workshop in Bangkok, Thailand, which preceded the second ISO/WG SR meeting.

The DCCG was created with the objectives of identifying issues of common concern across all six stakeholder groups, ensuring that these concerns were taken into account in the drafting of ISO 26000, as well of facilitating further research and awareness-raising on the implementation of ISO 26000 in developing countries.

During the last five years, the DCCG has acted as a platform for sharing ideas on the implications of ISO 26000, for organising in collaboration with the ISO Committee on developing country matters (ISO/DEVCO) all the workshops for developing countries held in conjunction with ISO/WG SR, including responsibility for the agenda and the country report summary (from the Lisbon 2006 meeting to Copenhagen 2010).

As a result of these workshops and other events, the participation of developing countries in the ISO 26000 development process was not only high in terms of numbers, but also from a qualitative point of view. Developing countries made major contributions and had significant influence on the decisions made by the WG SR and on the content of ISO 26000.

Why is ISO 26000 important for developing countries?

With the standard now published, it is important to underline what developing countries expect from ISO 26000, how they are planning to implement the standard and which are the main benefits they think can be achieved by implementing ISO 26000.

How to implement ISO 26000

  • Liaising with regional organizations and bodies involved in the implementation and use of CSR and SR in the various countries, including a proposals for adoption of ISO 26000 as a regional standard
  • Employing the standard as an aid to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of organizations
  • A checklist to be developed by national standards bodies (NSBs) to identify and assist various stakeholders in understanding the guidance given the standard and its use
  • Adopting ISO 26000 as a national standard
  • Developing a national standard based on ISO 26000 to make it more even more accessible and easy to use for all organizations
  • Recourse to a public awareness-raising campaign on a large scale (government bodies, NGOs, employers’ federations and others) so that all stakeholders are aware of its existence and know about its principles
  • Creating Web pages to promote SR and ISO 26000
  • Advancing the inclusion of ISO 26000 core subjects and principles into workshops and seminars dealing with SR-related matters
  • Disseminating the standard to those stakeholders who wish to implement it
  • Using ISO 26000 as a benchmark tool for existing SR initiatives
  • Utilizing ISO 26000 to contribute to greater transparency, governance and integrity, both within government and in industry
  • Utilizing the standard as a resource in the development of a national SR/CSR policy
  • Learning by using. To raise awareness about ISO 26000 by using it as a basis to describe and analyze real life experiences
  • Collaborating with different governmental or nongovernmental bodies/institutions as stakeholders to promote the application of the standard’s principles

What developing countries expect from the ISO 26000 and why we should implement the standard as a means to contribute to their sustainable development?

  • ISO 26000 will be a model to establish national standards on SR
  • ISO 26000 will become a powerful tool to help companies, governments, associations, entities and non-governmental organizations to incorporate social responsibility as a principle of management, thus contributing to a more conscious and sustainable use of natural and human resources
  • ISO 26000 will contribute to increase awareness on social responsibility, establish a common understanding on this issue and promote good practice
  • ISO 26000 should benefit society with processes, products and services based on economically viable, environmentally friendly and socially fair practices
  • The standard should help develop stronger relationships, mutual trust and reciprocal benefits between organizations and their stakeholders (improved relationships with suppliers, customers, community, etc.)
  • ISO 26000 will provide opportunities for organizations to achieve sustainable competitive advantage by integrating the principles of sustainability and SR into their vision and strategy
  • It will give guidance for policy development: effectiveness, efficiency, governance and accountability of government departments; a clearer understanding and common perspective of what SR is all about (philosophy, principles, practice)
  • ISO 26000 is a structured approach/means of implementing SR programmes by various groups (governmental, nongovernmental, businesses) that will facilitate the actual practice of SR by organizations and its incorporation throughout their activities
  • It can be a negotiation tool for labour unions and governments
  • ISO 26000 will encourage and facilitate cooperation between small and medium-sized organizations, large organizations, workers, government and civil society on social responsibility. Well managed, it will create opportunities for countries and companies to establish competitive advantages on global markets.

Big Watches With Backlight

"Habemus standard" key


The ISO 26000 the above and after social responsibility.

published Monday was the first international standard on social responsibility, ISO 26000. Guide to social responsibility.

After 5 years of hard and complex work, on Monday the International Organization for Standardization ISO will make a special ceremony to present the Standard to the world.

This standard is the international standard that has more to talk about from the beginning, that if is a guide and not a rule, if it is certifiable, which does not apply to small and midsize organizations, industry group that opposed the rule, as there was a consensus if there were some objections, but other management system, the National Institutes are violating the principles of the ISO to develop national regulations and as many comments certifiable.

Reflecting on the matter, and not to much to talk about when they first meet to develop a standard not only representatives of different countries and regions but converge people from different professions, different interests and different points of view. Apart from the traditional experience of the ILO and the tripartite where he had seen earlier workers, government and business together, is the first time where they converge 6 different types of interests, besides those already mentioned, NGOs, universities and consumers in developing of an international standard.

A Anecdotally, when you start his trial in Salvador de Bahia in 2005 never seemed to achieve the goal and this was accentuated when in Vienna in 2008, 7,250 comments were discussed, however a year later in Santiago was achieved progress to the stage of CD (first draft International Standard).

addition, with the participation of 450 experts from different countries, genders, races, religions, customs and occupations was not easy to achieve consensus, which is why it is rated as the largest group and complex technical ISO so far. For the development of the standard used innovative methods such as peer (developed countries and development through an equitable balance) , multi-stakeholder approach , funding for groups without resources, communication strategies, among others.

What were the main achievements with the adoption of ISO 26000:

  • Get a universal definition of social responsibility
  • recognize that social responsibility is not exclusive only more businesses and even large corporations
  • Understand that the responsibility goes beyond compliance with the laws
  • Defining the principles of social responsibility
  • Clearly differentiate between social responsibility and philanthropy
  • emphasize that to be socially responsible we must first recognize that organizations have social responsibility with its environment and its stakeholders
  • provide tools on how to identify their stakeholders and how and why get involved with them
  • know the 7 key areas of responsibility and social issues
  • determine the relevance and importance of the issues linked to the core subjects
  • far does the sphere of influence
  • are the responsibility practices for integrating social organization
  • Reinforce the importance of communication and social responsibility reports
  • On how to increase credibility, and review the performance and how to improve.
On his application

order to apply the ISO 26000 will have to understand:

  • That, as it says his range is a standard not a standard guidelines and requirements
  • It contains recommendations
  • That is not for certification purposes
  • That is not intended as a technical barrier to trade
  • That does not inhibit the development of national standards more specific or other
  • That applies to all types of organizations regardless of size, location, or type
  • That although all the core subjects are relevant to organizations all matters related to these matters are relevant
  • What to prioritize the issues
  • That each organization according to their type and location must evaluate their specific environment

And above all the issues, that being socially responsible goes there who have an isolated program liability social.

Geico Premiums After Accident



According to information provided by the ISO, after five years of hard work, the ISO 26000 Social Responsibility Guide has been approved by 93% and is expected to end in early October November 2010 is published.
This approval brings up our speculation and updates-and-back trip that were generated on the ISO Social Responsibility (ISO 26000) and is still generating.

1. Does ISO 26000 will or certifiable? Although the Internet today there are more than 127,000 entries for ISO 26000 certification ... The answer is NO, the Noma ISO 26000 explicitly states "This international standard is not a management system standard. It is not appropriate, nor is it intended to serve for certification purposes, or regulatory or contractual use. Any request for certification, or petition for a certification from the perspective of ISO 26000, would be considered a misrepresentation of the purpose and intent of this international standard "

2. Another ISO 26000 Management System?

The answer is NO, the ISO 26000 is not intended as more management system as mentioned in the previous answer, the ISO 26000 "provides guidance on how to implement social responsibility in an organization. Includes guidance relating to: understanding the social responsibility of an organization, integrating social responsibility throughout the organization "

3. The ISO 26000 is not a standard ...

The answer is yes, ISO 26000 is a standard that provides guidance and is therefore called Guide. In fact, the document was recently approved as an International Standard called Responsibility Guide Social. Unlike the ISO technical documentation on International Standards (IS), Technical Specifications (TS), Publicly Available Specifications (PAS), Technical Reports (TR), Guidelines (Policy Committees only) and International Agreements obtained Workshops (IWA .)

4. The industry group opposes the development of ISO 26000 ...

The answer is NO, some representatives of industry groups and in particular SMEs believe that the document is still not ripe to be approved as FDIS because "in your state Current does not take into account the needs and concerns of SMEs as a stakeholder in the process "but do not preclude that this standard is developed.

5. "In fact, although there was consensus that in some countries some stakeholders or interest groups voted No?

The answer is yes, in most other countries there was consensus and that is evidenced by the 93% approval rating according to the ISO definition of "Consensus is characterized by general agreement, absence of sustained opposition to aspects substantial part of a large group of concerned interests, a process that involves and takes into account the views of all stakeholders and reconcile any conflicting arguments. Consensus need not imply unanimity. " In those countries where no consensus was negative vote or abstention to such negative feedback: Cuba, United States, India, Luxembourg and Turkey. (If U.S. industry is opposed, abstained and government work does not vote). Abstention in Algeria, Germany, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Hungary, Iceland, New Zealand, the Republic of Iran, The Republic of Macedonia (former Yugoslavia) and Vietnam.

The FDIS is approved if: 2 / 3 vote of the members of the WG SR P are in favor, and not more than 1 / 4 of the total votes are negative (all members of the ISO). Abstentions are excluded when the votes are counted as negative votes not showing reasons techniques.

6. Are some National Institutes of Standards are violating their agreements with ISO to develop National Standards?

The answer is NO, the standard explicitly states "This international standard is not intended to prevent the development of national standards to be more specific, more demanding or otherwise." Moreover not only some countries are developing a national standard based on ISO 26000 standard but that the matter be certifiable.

7. What is the next step?

Standard

Once published it is expected to follow to assess your application and improve the next review to take place after three years of publication. In Copenhagen, agreed to establish a post-publication which will be submitted for consideration by the ISO TMB at the next meeting in Oslo.

Earth Wind Fire Songs On Everybody Hates Chris

ISO 26000 And you say you are socially responsible?

Today the issue of social responsibility is as the subject of total quality in the years 80, which do not talk about anything and not in fashion because it did not mention some have commented that the linking of CSR with fashion is that he knows of social responsibility. Increasingly

service companies such as banks, insurance companies, telephone companies, hotels and even private hospitals covered in their Web pages mention the issue of social responsibility and each time I see this I wonder if you know all those that is socially responsible organizations or if they thought that philanthropic activities are socially engaged and responsible.

Understand that being socially responsible means responding to the impacts of their activities and decisions in their stakeholders and it must also be able to report it, deemed to be transparent, ethical behavior, respect the laws, respect international standards of behavior and above all respect the human rights of its stakeholders.

will know that they must have a good government that must respect the environment, to be honest with competence, respect their consumers and contribute to community development.

would be interesting to know the answer.

If you think like users of these services, it would be interesting to survey those companies imaginary based on compliance with simple indicators linked with some key themes and issues of social responsibility as:

The treatment of workers and whether they are aware that this is the most important actor in your organization and as such deserve respect, good treatment, safe working conditions , fair wages, health programs, right to breathe healthy environment, human development and training in the workplace and of course time for family and personal life.

If positive response, I wonder if this is so, why in many of these organizations are staffed by poorly educated, and paid sub as a result of this unmotivated and often angry, This definitely affects the good customer care?.

relationship with the environment, and if they are aware that they must prevent pollution, use resources sustainably, protect the environment and diversity.

If positive response, I wonder why you do not have a policy for handling solid and liquid waste, or recycling and energy saving for example?

relationship with its suppliers and whether they are aware that this relationship is on two tracks, one on the impact they have on the social responsibility of the organization, and one on the influence that the organization should play in these as part of its sphere of influence. Because

answer is positive, I wonder why the organization does not take action in their purchasing decisions when their suppliers abuse the human rights of their workers or pollute the environment?

The customer care and if you really know the degree of satisfaction of their customers or consumers, if given clear information about the service they are going to pay, if they have ever received any complaints from a customer and have resolved these with due diligence and in a timely manner. Because

answer is positive and I wonder why sometimes you see the client as an enemy of the organization or is considered a difficult client? Why are some customers change companies or not return? About the community

ask them if they take into account and do not really conform to planting trees, funding sports teams, and other philanthropic activities.

If I succeed, then I would ask "Why when you do not give hiring preference to members of your community with the profile? Or why not buy from local suppliers? Or simply, what you've invested in society?

A good reflection ... let us think ...

Social Responsibility and Human Rights

As an organization does not understand the relevance of Human Rights will never be socially responsible

Following my active participation in the development process of ISO 26000 since its inception, a basic materials described in the future more standard called my attention, maybe because of my vocation but a professional humanist engineer, is the subject of Human Rights. That's why I would like to present a very personal vision of human rights and its relationship with the organizations and social responsibility through each of the major "stakeholders" ..

Human Rights and Social Responsibility

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is undoubtedly the first international initiative in social responsibility proclaimed and adopted in the year 1948 by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III ) United Nations on 10 December 1948. This being subsequently supplemented by the conventions on civil and political rights and Economic, social and cultural rights both passed in 1966 as International Covenants on Human Rights.

However, the first direct connection was when the year 1999 on the initiative of Kofi Annan established the Global Compact with their values \u200b\u200bconcerning human rights and labor practices, an initiative which remains 11 years after a major initiative in terms of corporate sustainability. Today

matter humamos rights, on the fundamental principle of being indivisible and interdependent, tangentially crosses all disciplines and fundamental practices of social responsibility and has links with all stakeholders of an organization (With senior management or organizational government, with partners, with their internal staff and contractors and consumers, competition, customer, community and of course as a result of the above, with the company.

human rights organization

An organization no matter the size, type, geographic location that you want to start on the issue of social responsibility and must comply with local laws must above all understand that the materials must respect and recognize both the importance and universality of human rights not only within your organization but through its sphere of influence that can have impact. Once the government understands this organization and set a public commitment, the road is much easier.

The human rights organization and the worker

To evaluate the impact of an organization on its stakeholders'll start with the most important and sometimes overlooked in an organization, the worker.

Perhaps this is the issue that should be more obvious because it already made the fundamental rights of workers are considered as human rights. According to the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work of 1998 (specifically, the eight fundamental ILO Conventions). These rights are: freedom of association and effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, elimination of all forms of forced labor, abolition of child labor and elimination of dicriminicación regards employment and occupation much discussed topic these days and in particular respect sexual orientation of individuals.

In my opinion there are other human rights workers are linked to working practices, which are: working conditions in which it operates, social protection, the right to fair remuneration, social dialogue, health and safety at work, the right to breathe healthy environment el desarrollo humano y la formación en el puesto de trabajo y en materia de derechos humanos, igualdad de oportunidades para todos y un tema muy comentado recientemente, el derecho a la conciliación de la vida familiar y personal.

La organización y los derechos humanos del proveedor

Si bien es cierto que las actividades de los proveedores pueden tener un alto impacto en la responsabilidad social de la organización, no menos cierto es que una organización aunque no sea responsable directa de posibles abusos de los derechos humanos por parte de sus proveedores, o aplicación de practicas laborales injustas a sus trabajadores, pudiese llegar a ser cómplice de los mismos, por lo cual, la organización debería take all necessary measures to avoid such situations and should have considerable influence in these areas either through their purchasing decisions or through supervision to verify compliance with the Declaration of Human Rights, international conventions and national laws in the labor.

addition, the organization should respect the rights of providers through a fair and timely payment.

The organization and the human rights of consumers and customers expect

consumers and customers of an organization on human rights, first to be considered as such, read beings humans, who are entitled to be informed about what they buy and consume, that they attend and be respected and not see them as enemies or difficult customers when they complain and to respect the privacy that is further referred to in the Declaration Universal Human Rights in its Article 12. Additionally, there are the United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection which is the most important international document in the field of consumer protection
. The General Assembly adopted the Guidelines in 1985 by consensus. In 1999 expanded to include provisions on sustainable consumption.

The human rights organization

community that the community expects of the organization, there is a dialogue and a commitment to their needs, they do not contaminate or destroy the environment and habitat, to respect the traditions of our indigenous people, who understand the gaps and they can support, which respects the dignity of people in the community who are given employment opportunities and development and general respect their social, cultural and economic.

Finally and as a consequence of the above

The human rights organization and society

As a society we hope to respect civil and political rights, we do not degrade from any reason, environmental, economically or socially, we do not discriminate against or mistreat and above all that organizations, like us as responsible consumers, contribute to sustainable development respecting our planet for future generations.
