This guide is an attempt to provide a useful, actionable overview of ISO for business application; specifically how to implement ISO in a way that works for your organization as an asset, as opposed to a cumbersome and unwieldy system of sluggish documentation for documentation’s sake. I’ll attempt to outline the most important ideas of ISO, as well as current terminology, and how to approach implementation. So, let’s start with some basics. Introduction 1. What is ISO? A Simple Introduction for Normal People ISO ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization, and it’s one of the most renowned and well-established entities for setting and maintaining standards in the world. ISO’s standards have been implemented by companies and organizations of all sizes and industries throughout 164 countries since its founding in London, 1947. So, ISO basically creates new standards; these standards are agreed upon by relevant experts in the field. The point of ISO is to provide an informed and reliable basis for companies and organizations to base their standard operating procedures, and generally run their operations. A standard can be defined as an established set of requirements that have been agreed upon by many people. This is the same for an ISO standard. In order for an ISO standard to be created, it must be substantiated by a number of experts from many different, autonomous standards organizations. So, this means that when a company follows an ISO standard, they are following a standard that was agreed upon by 100+ standards organizations as the best possible practice guidelines to follow. That’s pretty much what ISO is all about. They have published thousands of standards across all types of industries. More recently, ISO has created a shared structure that many of their standards utilize to make cross-functionality and multi-standard integration more easy. This shared structure is known as the MSS structure. 1. What is ISO? 1 2. Management System M Standards: An Overview of ISO’s Shared S Framework S Certain ISO standards focus on management systems, such as: quality management (ISO 9001), risk management (ISO 31000), and environmental management systems (ISO 14001), to name a few. These are sometimes referred to as “Management System Standards”. They outline specific guidelines for companies to follow in order to effectively build and maintain management systems. Some of the more popular ISO MSS include: • ISO 9001:2015 (quality management systems) • ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management systems) • ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (information security management systems) In addition, there are also ISO MSS that provide guidelines for management standards that operate within specific, somewhat niche, industries or departments, such as: • ISO 13485:2016 (Medical devices) • ISO/TS 22163:2017 (Railway applications) • ISO/TS 29001:2010 (Petroleum industries) Certain ISO MSS act as guides or provide further elaboration on particular areas of an organization’s management system, to help deepen the understanding of more complex systems.

  • Applying Signalling Theory to the ISO 26000 Standard for Social Responsibility
    sustainability Article Signalling Responsibility? Applying Signalling Theory to the ISO 26000 Standard for Social Responsibility Lars Moratis 1,2 1 The Netherlands & Sustainable Transformation Lab, NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences, 4817 JT Breda, The Netherlands 2 Corporate Social Responsibility, Antwerp Management School, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium; [email protected] Received: 17 September 2018; Accepted: 8 November 2018; Published: 13 November 2018 Abstract: Many global challenges cannot be addressed by one single actor alone. Achieving sustainability requires governance by state and non-state market actors to jointly realise public values and corporate goals. As a form of public–private governance, voluntary standards involving governments, non-governmental organisations and companies have gained much traction in recent years and have been in the limelight of public authorities and policymakers. From a firm perspective, sustainability standards can be a way to demonstrate that they engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) in a credible way. To capitalise on their CSR activities, firms need to ensure their stakeholders are able to recognise and assess their CSR quality. However, because the relative observability of CSR is low and since CSR is a contested concept, information asymmetries in firm–stakeholder relationships arise. Adopting CSR standards and using these as signalling devices is a strategy for firms to reduce these information asymmetries, by revealing their true CSR quality. Against this background, this article investigates the voluntary ISO 26000 standard for social responsibility as a form of public-private governance and contends that, despite its objectives, this standard suffers from severe signalling problems. Applying signalling theory to the ISO 26000 standard, this article takes a critical stance towards this standard and argues that firms adhering to this standard may actually emit signals that compromise rather than enhance stakeholders’ ability to identify and interpret firms’ underlying CSR quality.

  • Automated Sustainability Assessment System for Small and Medium Enterprises Reporting
    sustainability Article Automated Sustainability Assessment System for Small and Medium Enterprises Reporting Edward Kassem * and Oldrich Trenz Department of Informatics, Mendel University, 61300 Brno, Czech Republic; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 June 2020; Accepted: 13 July 2020; Published: 15 July 2020 Abstract: Sustainability assessment is a mainstream business activity that demonstrates the link between the organization’s strategy for and commitment to a sustainable global economy, and the prevention of economic crises. Small- and medium-sized businesses/enterprises (SMBs/SMEs) have significant effects on the European economy. However, because of a lot of restriction factors, like business risk, the high expenses of data collection and management, and the lack of resources, sustainability reporting is considered a superfluous and burdensome activity for them. The aim of this research is to propose an automated, comprehensive and simplified system for the sustainability assessment of SMEs. This system is achieved by implementing three main phases. The first phase includes key performance indicators design, which starts with the identification of various key performance indicators for comprehensive sustainability assessment, and ends with proposing an optimal set of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) that can encompass long-term issues and be applicable to SMEs in the EU. The second phase involves a new comprehensive method of sustainability assessment for all KPIs designed in the first phase. Therefore, a multi-criteria model, which involves four main pillars of sustainability assessment (economic, environmental, social and governance), is proposed. It gives different enterprises the ability to verify and compare their efficiency and sustainability with other companies within the same sector in an almost automated manner.

  • ITSSD Assessment of the New ISO 26000 Social Responsibility Standard
    ITSSD Assessment of the new ISO 26000 Social Responsibility Standard December 2005 Preliminary Conclusions: 1. It may be possible to procedurally shape and/or delay the development of the ISO SR guidance standard at the national mirror and international levels. 2. It may be impossible to prevent the actual adoption of an SR standard at the DIS and FDIS stages, unless the ISO voting rules are first modified to reflect only one vote for the European Community as a whole through its regional standards representative (e.g., CEN), as opposed to twenty-five separate votes representing the national standards bodies of each of the EU member states. 3. It is likely to be difficult to reverse the new stakeholder engagement process that has been introduced at the ISO incident to the commencement of this SR standard initiative, though it may arguably be shaped by filing procedural objections, and by strengthening traditional ISO benchmarks for consensus. 4. The real challenge is to prevent the new process from being expanded institutionally to all of ISO’s technical standards work, and thereby from being incorporated within business contracts that reference or directly incorporate such standards as conditions of manufacture, sale, service, etc. This is likely to be quite difficult given the current efforts of governments, NGOs and UN agencies to incorporate sustainable development dimensions into all ISO technical standards. 5. Further study and analysis of the evolving ISO SR operating procedures, the multi-stakeholder engagement process, and the ISO’s general consensus procedures is necessary to determine the proper course of action and the appropriate actors with which/whom to collaborate.
