Why is ISO developing an SR
standard?
Arent there enough models, theories,
initiatives and conventions?
WBCSD, WEF on Corruption, OECD
Guidelines, ISO 14000, OHSAS 18001, GlobalCompact, GRI, TI, Amnesty Business Group,IFBWW, ILO, Fair Trade, SA 8000, FSC, AA1000...

Because... There is a potential and a need for increased
awareness in the area of Social
Responsibility. We lack one internationally broadly accepted
guideline.
A standard could foster greater awarenessand wider observance of agreed sets ofuniversal principles.
ISO has the experiences and the open andneutral organization to ensure a broadacceptance of the future standard.
