ISO 26000:2010 Social Responsibility Complete Guide

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Social responsibility is no longer a soft topic on the margins of business strategy. Regulators are tightening expectations, investors are demanding credible non-financial disclosure, employees are choosing employers based on values, and communities are holding organizations accountable for impacts across their full sphere of influence.

ISO 26000:2010 is the most comprehensive international guidance document on social responsibility ever produced, the result of five years of negotiation among more than 90 countries and 40 international organizations, and it remains the definitive framework for organizations that want to act responsibly rather than merely appear to. This course gives you complete coverage of ISO 26000:2010 from its seven foundational principles through its seven core subjects of organizational governance, human rights, labour practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement and development. You will learn how to identify and engage stakeholders, determine which issues are most relevant and significant to your organization, conduct human rights due diligence aligned with the UN Guiding Principles, address climate change and biodiversity, prevent corruption following frameworks such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and ISO 37001, protect consumer data under modern privacy regimes, and build genuine community involvement programs.

You will also learn how to integrate social responsibility throughout your organization, communicate credibly with stakeholders, and review and improve your performance over time. This course is designed for CSR managers, sustainability professionals, corporate affairs leaders, compliance officers, government employees, ESG analysts, and organizational leaders who need fluent command of ISO 26000 and its relationships to the GRI Standards, the UN Global Compact, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and other ISO management system standards including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 37001.
