Via the Principled Profit, this news very interesting indeed: ISO Developing Social Responsibility Standard. Shel also posted a link to a PDF overview (image to the right) of how NGO’s can get involved in the process.

The text is indeed a bit dry as Shel points out, but the content, if you are interested in the topic, is quite interesting. In short, it is about the ISO 26000 standard which will “give guidance to organizations on social responsibility.” More specifically, the guidance will involve:

• principles and issues relating to social responsibility;
• integrating, implementing and promoting socially responsible practices;
• identifying and engaging with stakeholders;
• communicating commitments and performance relating to social responsibility; and,
• contributing to sustainable development through social responsibility.

I look forward to watching the standard come together.
