Social Responsibility

“A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” 1884 / Georges Seurat

The Association Française de Normalisation (AFNOR), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) member body for France, has submitted to ISO a proposal for a new field of ISO technical activity on Social Responsibility, with the following scope statement:

Standardization in the field of Social Responsibility to provide guidance and framework to all types of organizations, regardless of their size, activity or location. It allows organizations to challenge their own practices, define their corporate social responsibility and thus devise strategies to enhance their contribution to sustainable development.

Anyone wishing to review the proposal can request a copy by contacting ANSI’s ISO Team (isot@ansi.org), with a submission of comments to Steve Cornish (scornish@ansi.org) by close of business on Friday, June 5, 2020

We maintain all commenting opportunities on ISO consensus products on the standing agenda of our Global teleconferences. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

At the moment, we find only a few ISO consensus products incorporated by reference into the best practice literature that affects the cost of US education communities. It is wise to follow the action, however, because these products can inform higher level policy pronouncements. We maintain all ISO consensus products on the standing agenda of our Global teleconferences. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

We live in an amazing world full of incredible opportunities and endless possibilities. But it can also be a complex and overwhelming place. When things don’t work as they should it often means that standards are absent. But when ISO standards are applied, life is just so much richer.

ISO standards help to make the world a safer, cleaner and more efficient place: from food safety to computers, from health care to new technologies. There are many challenges facing our environment, economy and society.

ISO can make a positive difference to all our lives, utilising a wealth of international experience and wisdom. In today’s ever changing world ISO standards help create growth, open up global markets and make trade fairer, including for developing countries.

ISO standards can help tackle global challenges like climate change, road safety, energy and social responsibility. ISO standards touch almost everything we do, keeping us connected and entertained, making us more productive, more creative, sharing ideas, promoting innovation and keeping us safe and healthy. ISO is the world’s largest developer of voluntary International Standards. With over 18,000 standards for nearly every aspect of technology and business.

For over 60 years, a network of standards bodies in 163 countries, working in partnership around the world and right here at home. ISO builds confidence: for today, for tomorrow and for the future.
