ISO 26000-SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
ACS Canada — Social Responsibility Approval (ISO 26000:2010)
ISO 26000:2010 provides international guidance on social responsibility (SR), helping organizations of all types integrate ethical, transparent, and sustainable practices into their operations. While ISO 26000 is not a certifiable management system standard, ACS Canada offers independent audits against its framework and issues an Approval of Alignment Certificate to recognize organizations that successfully implement its principles.
The standard covers key aspects of social responsibility, including organizational governance, human rights, labour practices, environmental stewardship, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement. By adopting ISO 26000, organizations demonstrate their commitment to going beyond legal compliance and contributing to sustainable development.
