CONSULTANCY AND CERTIFICATION SERVICES

The value of organizations and businesses is increasingly judged by their commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), specifically through the adoption of ISO 26000:2018. In today’s business landscape, sustainability and social responsibility have emerged as key priorities for future success.



ISO 26000:2018 Certification – Key Benefits

According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), strong performance in social responsibility has a positive influence on several areas of an organization:

1. Human Resources (HR)

  • Attracting and Retaining Talent: A demonstrated commitment to CSR can make organizations more appealing to potential employees, enhancing their ability to attract and retain top talent.
  • Employee Engagement: Companies that embrace social responsibility often see a boost in employee commitment and productivity due to a shared sense of purpose and values.

2. Marketing and Customer Engagement

  • Enhanced Brand Image: Demonstrating a commitment to CSR improves an organization’s reputation, which in turn enhances customer trust and loyalty.
  • Stronger Customer Relations: Consumers are increasingly drawn to organizations that prioritize social responsibility, and CSR initiatives can help companies build lasting customer relationships.

3. Relationships with Stakeholders

  • Improved Stakeholder Perceptions: ISO 26000 helps organizations foster strong relationships with key stakeholders, including governments, communities, investors, and the media, by clearly communicating their CSR efforts.
  • Building Trust and Credibility: By adhering to recognized CSR practices, companies can strengthen their credibility and foster better relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.

4. Organizational Performance

  • Holistic Performance Evaluation: The focus on CSR as a critical element of organizational performance reflects a broader evaluation beyond just financial results, showcasing how businesses impact society and the environment.
  • Increased Transparency: Implementing ISO 26000 helps organizations provide a clear, transparent record of their CSR activities, making it easier to demonstrate their commitment to stakeholders.

5. Legal and Regulatory Compliance

  • Compliance with EU and Global Standards: Through ISO 26000, organizations can ensure they align with key regulations, including the EU Accounting Directive (RL 2014/95/EU) and international frameworks like the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (2nd Edition, June 2014).
  • Better Risk Management: A robust CSR framework can help businesses mitigate risks associated with social, environmental, and governance issues, reducing the likelihood of legal or reputational challenges.
