Benefits Of ISO 26000
Relationships
Implementing ISO 26000 will bring about socially responsive behaviour that will improve relationships with stakeholders, customers suppliers and staff. The financial community are rapidly aligning with Socially Responsible Investing, which is the practice of investing money in companies and funds that have positive social impacts.
VERIFICATION
Although ISO 26000 certification is not required, any business or organisation can have its activities verified against the guidance; this can include the verification of relevant data and material related to social responsibility; such as stakeholder focussed sustainability reports.
GAP ANALYSIS
We offer an ISO 26000 gap analysis against the guidance to identify your organisational strengths and weaknesses with respect to social responsibility. The gap analysis can confirm areas your organisation already addresses through existing practices as well as those items requiring a more systematic approach.
