ISO 26000 - Guidance on social responsibility

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies.

ISO 26000 was prepared by ISO/TMB Working Group on Social Responsibility.
This International Standard was developed using a multi-stakeholder approach involving experts from more than 90 countries and 40 international or broadly-based regional organizations involved in different aspects of social responsibility. These experts were from six different stakeholder groups: consumers; government; industry; labour; non-governmental organizations (NGOs); and service, support, research, academics and others. In addition, specific provision was made to achieve a balance between developing and developed countries as well as a gender balance in drafting groups. Although efforts were made to ensure balanced participation of all the stakeholder groups, a full and equitable balance of stakeholders was constrained by various factors, including the availability of resources and the need for English language skills.

So, what´s the aim of this International Standard? It seems like they have a dream. Do we? Let´s see the following short video (4 minutes) http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid923.photobucket.com/albums/ad75/alejandro8727/ISO26000-elestndarparamejorarlaresp.flv
