ISO 26000 assessment

An ISO 26000 assessment from ACL measures your organisation’s performance and improvement in socially responsible behaviour. There are five levels that relate to increasing degrees of performance.

Businesses that neglect to incorporate socially responsible behaviour into their strategies, systems and practices are likely to fall behind their competitors. Increasingly customers, staff, stakeholders, investors, business partners, governments and communities are deciding not to support companies that care little for the planet and the well-being of the people in it.

Our assessment is suitable for all organisations in both public and private sectors, in developed and developing countries, as well as in economies in transition. It works as a tool to identify your organisation’s performance level at the time of the assessment. It will help you operate in the socially responsible manner that society increasingly demands.

Ideally your organisation will first be assessed in the early stages of setting an agenda in social responsibility. Following that, it is best applied as a continuous assessment method, against which to set organisational targets.

Improving the level of your performance in adopting the principles of ISO 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility clearly demonstrates the positive actions taken by your organisation to contribute towards sustainable development.
