ISO 26000. Best seller of 2010

Following the publication of ISO 26000 on 01 November 2010, have raised a number of stories related to this international standard, we read news related to the implementation of ISO 26000, implementation of ISO 26000, the ISO 26000 certification, testing with the ISO 26000, ISO 26000 audits with , award to the ISO 26000 and if that were not enough, recently used Twitter to associate with a political party in Peru.

words, ISO 26000 has become the new cliché used by businesses or individuals to market their brand or to note that it is "socially responsible."

This reminds me of the 70 when talking about total quality and everyone used that term to identify everything that was seen as something good or something trendy and used expressions like "That's total quality "or" guy is total quality "

In the year 1994 same phenomenon occurred when it was published the second version of ISO 9001, then as to what is happening now, out of nowhere a number of "experts" to talk about this rule and the 21 procedures required to meet the 21 clauses containing the same at the time.

Today we find something similar to ISO 26000, although arguably not a fad ... it is fashionable, and anyone that claims to know believes that social responsibility should speak or write on ISO 26000, regardless of whether you really know the ISO 26000, what was your process, which is a standard, what kind of policy is, which means a guide, but even that is verification, certification, etc. requirements.

Among the cases that I read recently that the case of Bavaria, Holland [1] , DHV consulting company reported on its website that the company successfully demonstrated above the compliance with ISO 26000, and therefore under the title of the article was granted an award, however after reading the article several times still do not understand which was the prize and lift me back to the past (remember is to live) when in the year of 1975 Venezuela passed a resolution forbidding quality award by a proliferation of these that were granted in Brazil, where people came to Smoking and everything to receive the prestigious award which was granted without any technical basement.

Another case is that of AIR FRANCE that despite the title of the article mentioned that the company had adopted the text of ISO 26000 certification noted that Bureau Veritas has been renewed including ISO 26000, which was later clarified that was not a "certification" but a "verification" [2] .

Meanwhile an article in CSR Commitment [3] reports that the company DNV (Det Norske Veritas) said one of options for compliance with ISO 26000, is " GRI Guidelines and ISO G3 26000" for demonstrating compliance with the standard.

And the most recent case is the case CSE Centre for Sustainability & Excellence (Center for Sustainability and Excellence) offers audits based on ISO 26000 [4] , but recent clarifications in the discussion group on LinkedIn .

The issue is that all these five references that have been published on compliance with ISO 26000 are interpretations of the organizations that issue, however and according to the terms used are all questionable, since according to the terms used, (checking, certificates, awards or audit) and the definitions established by the ISO, and according to the definitions Real Academia de la Lengua, none of these can be applied to a standard "guidelines" for reasons I will expose below

According to ISO 9000 of vocabulary, check the "confirmation mediante la aportación de evidencia objetiva (3.8.1) de que se han cumplido los requisitos (3.1.2) especificados, mientras que según la ISO 19011 define auditoria como “pr oceso sistemático, independiente y documentado para obtener evidencias de la auditoría y evaluarlas de manera objetiva con el fin de determinar la extensión en que se cumplen los criterios de auditoría” (conjunto de políticas, procedimientos o requisitos )utilizados como referencia).

Según la real academia Verificar es “ Comprobar o examinar la verdad de algo”, while audit is "to examine the financial management of an entity to verify if it meets established by law or custom"

Moreover reward is "unpaid, to award grants privileges, employment or income the merits and services of someone "

So according to these definitions would somebody tell me what requirements are verified against the ISO 26000 does not contain requirements or tell me how audits if the rule does not contain any policies or procedures or requirements or as rewards if no technical basis for such awards.

And the best certifications let alone because in addition to the Standard says, and the ISO [5] same reaffirm that this rule is to certify.

And finally with respect to whether to GRI indicators can and can not demonstrate compliance with the standard, will have to wait to apply these indicators or other tools or initiatives that are identified in the document which as indicated by the textote the same, these are not endorsed by ISO 26000.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, is the question ... finally, it may or may not determine compliance with ISO 26000?

I say yes ... And you?

Jelly Band Color Meanings 2011

The Promotion Organisations RSEteo CSR Raining on the wet

A following the recent debate in the Latin American Forum of social responsibility on companies American and DJI ( Down Jones Index) Hugo Vergara Director of BSD (Business. Sustainability. Development Consulting Chile-Ecuador ) , posted a comment that seemed important to go public and hear the views of supporters of the Blog.

I would copy the concern Hugo:

"It was very interesting to see how my last comment delivered on the network has caused some confusion among some organizations and other side agreement on the substantive discussion of the issues raised. I think that as the drivers of these issues in the region must be open to criticism and analysis and of course to dissent when not agree, is a basic rule of any discussion. I am anxious to continue the debate started a few weeks ago on the regional agenda and model or vision that we should adopt in the region. First, and to be specific, there are some issues that I believe are central to this agenda and list them:

A. - Corporate governance and transparency

We still the region is a deficit in this area in domestic companies are still family-run and where good governance and transparency have gaps on such commitments to be taken in the OECD to this regard.

The region has been going on conflicts of interest, price collusion in some sectors that border mergers in monopolies that will affect consumers, lack of timely information to stakeholders for decision-making, in short, a stretch that between the same companies is evident and yet the market does not recognize as a value. Today, companies operating in the region with very high standards and strict guidelines for ethical conduct but who face other groups where these issues are dead letters.

B. - Environment

is upon us in a crucial debate in the region at the rate of water and its importance for human consumption versus production and development needs. This is a scarce resource and there will be more scarce in the coming years and the largest reserves are in the region. Industries that require energy for their operations and even large hydropower projects that are not sustainable and use these resources to those needs.

In terms of innovation and technology for sustainability, investment in the region continues be minimal and most of it is coming from the state and not the companies. Discussions on energy matrix are linked to these issues, tax incentives needed for investment in renewable energy is a serious deficit in our countries.

climate change impacts in areas of the Amazon and the potential environmental impacts of mining projects in the area, what are the criteria for such projects in areas of high ecological impact.

Finally, we have an immediate challenge and requires larger efforts in this area. Examples such as telephone and unity on climate change should be a trend and not an exception.

We can not forget what happened to BP, the question is which is the risk in our region, who knows what is happening in this area.

C. - Social inequity and poor distribution of income

We have one of the greatest inequities in the world, even our development models fail to generate more equity and with them greater distribution of wealth. The data suggest that the richest 10% has increased their wealth by at least 3 times to 10% poorer. It requires a debate from the perspective of CSR that addresses this issue from the perspective of public-private cooperation, a scheme that allows to be more efficient in allocating resources and that focuses on the most important elements, quality of education access to health, better infrastructure, among a few.

Even the vision of philanthropy in many companies still dressed in CSR, and that has not changed as quickly as we thought.

D. - Labour rights and human rights

is heard discussing the ethical wage, but still not done too much about it. Debate is still on more flexible working but are still seeing this is but more job security, security policies and occupational health in some areas are simply a dead letter, the construction sector, fisheries, mining, etc. continue to have deficits in this area. Blacklists in some countries of trade union leaders in some countries of Central America on respect for freedom of association and collective bargaining is unacceptable, the death of trade unionist in the region where human rights violations, in short, elements that should lead to an open and frank discussion.

A family living on USD $ 200 salary, can not have any chance to escape their poverty, we must make greater efforts in this. The corporate profits in 2010 were impressive in some countries, however this did not translate into better wages or conditions for workers and employees. Companies that because of the crisis was fired thousands of workers and their earnings results were higher than previous years.

Many of these issues are part of the CSR agenda and the truth is that many of these issues should be part of the regional agenda. Undoubtedly require greater control and to adjust certain elements of regulation, but beyond that we need the business and the market reacts more positively to these incentives, this does not sleep in the arms of corporate reputation transformation into the DNA of the modus operandi of the three sectors, the only way in which I can walk to most fair and competitive markets.

How Do I Construct A 16 Reflector

Why

How to certify against a standard non-certifiable?

To avoid many misunderstandings with regard to using the ISO 26000 certification, I think the main problem that exists is the ignorance of the issue of standards and standardization, and while this is not understood, misinterpreted and continue using the ISO 26000. So I would like to deepen on the subject to clarify the concepts.

The former would include the definition of a standard approved by the International Organization for Standardization ISO 2-2004 in Guide "Standardization and Related Activities. General vocabulary " A standard is a" document established by consensus and approved by a recognized body that provides, for common and repeated rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities and their results, aimed at achieving the optimal level of order in a given context "is understood as a consensus according to the same guide as to the sane general characterized by, the absence of sustained opposition to substantial aspects of an important 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.

Second is important to note that there are different levels of normalization according to its application, as follows: International Standards regional standards, national standards, rules of association and business rules.

Within Standards are Standards ISO (International Organization for Standardization), the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), the ITU (International Telecommunication Union), among which those organizations exist recognition agreements and the Standards of Codex Alimentarius.

Within Regional Standards are the COPANT (Pan American Standards Commission), to America, CEN (European Committee for Standardization). CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) and ETSI (European Institute for Telecommunication Standardization Sector) in the European area, and ARSO (African Organisation for Standardisation) in Africa among others. Within this area have established rules on social responsibility being the best known of EMAS. (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme)

National Standards are those developed by national standardization bodies of each country such as AENOR in Spain, Argentina IRAM, DIN in Germany, BSI in England etc. In the field of social responsibility in this area many countries have developed or are developing its standards for some based on the ISO 26000 as Israel, Colombia, Mexico, England, Spain, Portugal, Australia, Uruguay, Brazil and others, some of them even based on ISO 26000 contain requirements of a social responsibility management such as ISO 9001 in quality that contain requirements IF p ueden be certifiable.

Within Standards Association the best known are the ASTM (American Association for Testing and Materials), API (American Petroleum Institute), ASME (Society American materials), we could say that the issue of social responsibility would OHSAS Standards (Standards for Management Systems Occupational Safety and Health).

Finally business rules as its name implies, are produced by firms for internal use and their features are more specific than the above rules.

In the field of social responsibility have documents produced at different levels, mainly by businesses or business associations such as the SA 8000 (System Social Responsibility), AA 1000 (Accountability) and SGE21 of Foret (System Management Ethics and Social Responsibility).

In the case of ISO 26000, this was developed through a working group depending on the Management Committee of the ISO called TMB consists of 450 experts nominated by national standards bodies members ISO and liaison organizations concerned with the subject to normalize.

Third is important to note that the rules are classified according to their content, for example, ISO documentation difference Technical Standards (IS), Technical Specifications (TS), Publicly Available Specifications (PAS), Technical Reports (TR), Guidelines (developed COPOLCO Policy Committee) and International Agreements obtained Workshops (IWA) .

In turn, within the international TANDARDS n a wide variety of these, such as norms of requirements which are unique certifiable, standards, guidelines, guidelines, definitions and others. ISO 26000 to Despite being a standard as its name suggests is a guide and to be the guide does not contain requirements but recommendations or guidelines, which means it can not be certifiable because for a standard certificate must contain requirements and the 18000 or more standards developed by ISO, barely 10 of them are certifiable character and ISO 26000 is not among them.

Last but not least, the certification bodies and firms should take into account the joint resolution of the governing International Organizations in the field (ISO Standardization in the area) and IAF (International Accreditation Forum ) in the area of \u200b\u200bAccreditation in which it is reported that under no circumstances recognize any certification that is based on ISO 26000 and is applied to all certification bodies that do not promote nor give certification to ISO 26000.

much we talk about commercialism and selling of certificates thing that really happens because the certification is a business ... .. It would take much imagination to certify the Uncertifiable by definition.

Typical Master Combinations

ISO 26000 provides strategic value to the organization? How

and the euphoria of the adoption of ISO 26000 and already plan to seek reasons for their application in organizations, my first attempt was the how to demonstrate the strategic value of this standard provides organizations through a summary that demonstrates why an organization should consider the use it as a guide to incorporate social responsibility in the procedures and daily practices without this representing face a new management model.

This my main consideration was that the social responsibility is part of the fundamental strategy of the organization and therefore should be reflected in their decision making and taken into account in implementing this strategy by which basing on that premise, here's the result:

  • promotes a common understanding in the field of social responsibility or p defines us as not only is social responsibility but provides concepts, terms and definitions related to social responsibility such as:

    • Accountability
    • due diligence
    • Ethical behavior
    • international rules of behavior
    • Social dialogue
    • Stakeholders
    • Sphere of influence
    • Supply Chain
    • Sustainable
    • Transparency
    • Value Chain
  • encourages organizations engage in activities that go beyond legal compliance
  • clearly presents the background , trends and characteristics of social responsibility
  • defines the principles and practices relating to social responsibility
  • presents a strategic dimension of social responsibility and liaison between the organization, society and stakeholders
  • presents the materials and fundamental issues related to social responsibility through a holistic approach
  • Guidance on how integrate, implement and promote socially responsible behavior throughout the organization and through its policies and practices related to its sphere of influence
  • helps identify stakeholders and gives reasons for involvement with the same
  • Da guidelines on determining the relevance and importance of the issues and fundamental issues of social responsibility
  • Da guidelines to evaluate the sphere of influence and how to exercise influence over her
  • Promotes communicating commitments and performance relating to social responsibility
  • is complemented with other instruments and initiatives related to social responsibility and in fact has shown the Global Compact through its document "An introduction to Linkages Between UN Global Compact Principles and ISO 26000 core subjects" and the GRI through the document "GRI and ISO 26000: How to use the GRI Guidelines in conjunction with ISO 26000 "

  • promotes increased awareness and competence building in RS
  • East and set the course of organization's RS
  • guidance on how to incorporate the RS within the governance systems and procedures of an organization
  • reinforces the role of communication and gives ideas of how to communicate
  • gives guidelines on how to improve the credibility regarding RS
  • Da guidelines how to improve the performance
  • Da guidelines for policy development: the effectiveness, efficiency, governance and accountability
  • is a tool to help businesses, governments , associations, and non-governmental organizations incorporate social responsibility as a principle of good governance
  • contributes to developing stronger relationships and mutual trust and benefit between organizations and their stakeholders (improved relations with suppliers, customers, community, etc.).
  • is compatible with other management systems (9001/ISO ISO 14001 / OHSAS 18001 and SGE21).
  • provides an opportunity for organizations to achieve sustainable competitive advantage through integration of the principles of sustainability and the RS in its vision and strategy

And last but not least ... .... It helps organizations to contribute to sustainable development
