Organizations everywhere are starting to see the importanceof addressing current threats to their long-term viability and investingin a sustainable future for all. Achieving future sustainability requires abalance between the needs of the environmental, social and economicsystems. There is now a societal expectation that organizations notonly have a responsibility towards social and environmental welfare,but should play a positive and integral role in achieving it.Sustainable development can be defined as a form of development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.This cannot be achieved by individual organizations working in silos,which is why 193 countries have pledged their support towards the17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and their169 targets. Adopted in 2015, the SDGs are a set of aspirational goalsto end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all, as partof the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.ISO 26000 and SDGs 1

ISOstandardsandthe SDGsISO has thousands of standards that help the usercontribute to the UN Agenda 2030 and the sustainable development goals, covering everythingfrom sustainable communities and quality management to safety and measuring greenhousegases. Almost any activity can be described in anISO standard if relevant stakeholders meet andwork towards consensus.One of the overarching standards directed athelping businesses and organizations contribute to sustainable development is ISO 26000,Guidance on social responsibility. Developedwith the consensus of more than 450 expertsfrom 99 countries and 42 international liaisonorganizations, it is the repository of good practiceand expertise from industry, government, labourorganizations, non-governmental organizationsand consumers.ISO 26000 provides guidance on how businessesand organizations can operate in an ethical andtransparent way that contributes to sustainable development while taking into account theexpectations of stakeholders, applicable lawsand international norms of behaviour.How much an organization contributes to sustainable development and its impacts on society andthe environment is known as “ social responsibility ” and is becoming a critical measure ofperformance.Social responsibilityis the responsibility of anorganization for the impactsof its decisions and activitieson society and the environment, through transparentand ethical behaviour that : Contributes to sustainable development,including the health andwelfare of society Takes into accountthe expectations ofstakeholders Is in compliance withapplicable law and consistent with internationalnorms of behaviour Is integrated throughout the organizationand practised in allits relationshipsExtracted from ISO 26000:2010ISO 26000 and SDGs 3
Guidelinesfor standardswritersSustainable development is such animportant issue for ISOthat a special ISO guidehas been published tohelp include these principles into an increasingnumber of standards.Created by a worldleading team of sustainability and standardsexperts, Guide 82,Guidelines for addressing sustainability instandards, providesguidance to standardswriters on how to takeaccount of sustainability in the drafting,revision and updatingof ISO standards andsimilar deliverables.4 ISO 26000 and SDGsAn organization’s level of social responsibility influences everything from its reputation to its ability toattract high-calibre employees and its relationshipwith suppliers, clients and the communities in whichit operates.ISO 26000 was developed before the UN Agenda 2030and the SDGs, yet offers more than 450 recommendations related to its main principles and core subjects of social responsibility that help organizationscontribute to the SDG goals.ISO 26000 offers practical guidance to any organization, anywhere in the world, wishing to contribute tosustainable development. It helps them : Understand how they currently impact societyand contribute to sustainable development Identify, engage and respect their relevantstakeholder expectations Defini which issues are relevant and significantand ensure they are prioritized for action Be in compliance with applicable laws andconsistent with international norms of behaviour Integrate responsible behaviour throughouttheir organization and relationshipsNot only does the standard help organizationsidentify and reduce their most significant impactson society, the actions recommended align well withinternational norms such as the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization’s core conventions onlabour practices.Holistic in its approach, ISO 26000 addresses sevencore subjects of social responsibility that are relevantto every organization (see graphic on page 5). Eachof these core subjects, outlined in Clause 6 of thestandard, includes a number of issues of social

ISO 26000 in actionSDG 8 – Promoting inclusive and sustainable economicgrowth, employment and decent work for allWhen Algerian drinks producer NCA Rouiba embarked on implementingISO 26000, staff welfare was a key area of focus. In association with tradeunions and worker representatives, they developed a new employee relationsframework to prevent discrimination and promote well-being, as well as updating contracts with suppliers to insist they do the same.“ Social responsibility is not only an internal process ; it requires the collectivedynamic of organizations across different sectors and regions.”10 ISO 26000 and SDGs
For example, for the first SDG (No poverty),Clause 6.4.4.2 of ISO 26000 under the coresubject “ Labour practices ” states : “ An organization should pay wages at least adequate forthe needs of workers and their families. In doingso, it should take into account the general levelof wages in the country, the cost of living, socialsecurity benefits and the relative living standardsof other social groups. ”When it comes to SDG 3 (Good health and wellbeing), Clause 6.3.9.2 of ISO 26000 under thecore subject “ Human rights ” recommends that“ an organization may consider, for example, facilitating access to, and where possible providingsupport and facilities for, education and lifelonglearning for community members ”.One of the many recommendations that contribute towards SDG 6 (Clean water and sanitation)can be found in Clause 6.7.9.2 of ISO 26000 underthe core subject “ Consumer issues ” : “ In educating consumers, an organization, when appropriate, should address environmental protection,efficient use of materials, energy and water ;sustainable consumption ; and proper disposalof wrapping, waste and products. ”As a final example, Clause 6.7.3.2 of ISO 26000under the core subject “ Consumer issues ” contributes towards SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production) : “ When communicatingwith consumers, an organization should providecomplete, accurate, and understandable information that can be compared in official or commonlyused languages at the point of sale and accordingto applicable regulations. ”ISO 26000 and SDGs 11
GettingstartedwithISO 26000The standard offers guidance (found mainly in Clause 7) on how tointegrate social responsibility throughout your organization, but hereare a few other tips to get you started.Tip 1Use the seven main principles to makea quick analysis of your performancein relation to each of the sevencore subjects. What is your role insociety and what impacts, especiallynegative impacts, do your activitieshave ? What value do you create forsustainable development ?Tip 2Create a stakeholder map, i.e.a list of expectations from thosestakeholders that affect, or areaffected by, your organization. What isexpected from you through rule of law,international norms of behaviour andyour own organization ?12 ISO 26000 and SDGs
Tip 3Refine your self-analysis throughdue diligence or developinga gap analysis between your currentoperations and the detailed guidancefound in Clause 6 of the standard.Are there recommendations that youneed to act on immediately ?Tip 4Define your objectives and targetsafter stakeholder input. How will youshow continual improvement of yoursocially responsible behaviour overthe long and short term ?Tip 5Integrate social responsibility in allrelevant parts of the organization.How, for example, will you reachrelevant parts of top managementand the board, line managers andprocurement functions ?ISO 26000 and SDGs 13
ISO 26000 in actionSDG 2 – Ending hunger, andSDG 6 – Ensuring access to waterand sanitation for allDonating food to food banks, improving the distribution of tips,replacing taps and toilets with water-efficient alternatives andintroducing power-saving key cards are just some of the initiativesthat Domina Coral Bay Hotel, Resort, Spa & Casino, a large holidayresort in Egypt’s popular Sharm el-Sheikh region, undertook as partof implementing ISO 26000. The result ? Improved working conditions for employees, a more rational consumption of resources suchas water and energy and greater involvement in the community.“ Through implementing ISO 26000, we have learned that a projectwill not achieve its business goals successfully without embracingthe standard’s seven principles and core subjects. Such a tool willguarantee success that is sustainable. ”14 ISO 26000 and SDGs
