ISO 26000 to almost 6 months after publication
Since its publication in November 2010 have raised a number of news related to the compliance ISO 26000, the implementation of ISO 26000, the certification with ISO 26000, the verification with ISO 26000 audits with ISO 26000, and to award with ISO 26000.
been made workshops, seminars and conferences in most countries that participated in its preparation, some sponsored by the same ISO, the National Standards Bodies and in other cases by organizations who participated in the development, assistance has been important primarily by curiosity to know its content and especially with a large attendance of companies, and of course looking for consultants how to turn this document into a new business.
addition, there have been publications and interviews in magazines, newspapers and other media. In the specific case of the workshops, at least in my case, the feedback from the participants and especially large multinational companies and has been very positive, have been the standard as a tool for improving for incorporate social responsibility practices in existing systems and practices in the organization.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STANDARD
In terms of implementation, despite the uproar that has resulted, very few countries which has actually begun its implementation, limited to large enterprises, multinational corporations that and have developed social responsibility programs or sustainability, they have begun to assess how to integrate Standard practices or the existing management systems and in some cases already well advanced actions. In some countries
companies have seen the Standard skepticism because of the prevailing economic and political conditions, which results in not only this but any standard is difficult to implement. Some companies, though it is not, see the policy and other management system and many do not believe in systems management, while other companies especially SMEs are hardly trying to implement the ISO 14001 environment. Paradoxically, another fact that makes the standard look with skepticism is that it is certified and some are waiting for the certified version for your application.
Remarkably, organizations as the Global Compact and the Global Report Initiative GRI have developed documents which establish an equivalence with some aspects of the Standard, which has allowed in the case of the Global Compact compliance with approved standards on these aspects of rights human, labor, environment and fair operating practices. With respect to this equivalence GRI has used the GRI Guidelines in conjunction with ISO 26000 for the preparation of sustainability reports exist examples such as a new insurance company in Ecuador.
There are other examples of application that I would call as misuse of ISO 26000 such as a prize in the Netherlands, the case of a global certification including ISO 26000 in France, and the case of inspections or audits performed by consultants. Is worth noting that none of these actions can be performed with a standard of guidelines that does not contain requirements.
Notwithstanding the above believe in 6 months is very little time to assess the impact of ISO 26000 , I think because there is a first novel approach with caution, but I'm sure that when organizations and especially companies begin to evaluate its contents in depth found in it a powerful tool for incorporating social responsibility in the everyday practices of your organization.
SEE, THINK, WRITE . Greetings
