ISO 26000 – Social Responsibility Assessment

Overview
ISO 26000 is the internationally recognized guidance on social responsibility. It helps organizations of all sizes integrate ethical, transparent, and sustainable practices into their operations—covering areas such as human rights, labor practices, environmental stewardship, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement.

  • Mitigate Risks: Identify gaps in labor, environmental, and community practices before they become liabilities

  • Win Business: Differentiate in tenders and RFPs by evidencing robust CSR practices

  • Drive Improvement: Build a clear roadmap based on a third-party-validated gap analysis

FAQ's

Starting with your initial consultation with our ISO specialists and progressing through certification, the timeline can be as short as 15 days. However, the duration is contingent upon the size and complexity of your business. It's worth noting that we can often expedite the process and reduce costs by preparing the Documented Management System Manual on your behalf, which can also accelerate the certification for your business.

Following ISO 17021 guidelines, accredited certification bodies must provide certified organizations with certificates covering a 3-year certification cycle. Extensions beyond this timeframe are possible with the completion of necessary external audits and adherence to the certification cycle. ISO Certification, for instance, commonly issues certificates throughout a ten-year contract period.

At Company Certification, our dedication is to ensure that ISO certification remains cost-effective for all our clients. The expenses involved depend on various factors including your industry sector, annual turnover, number of employees, and other considerations.
