What is ISO?

        ISO : International Organization for Standardization

 - Private, not-for-profit organization established in 1947 (Geneva, Switzerland)

 - Promotes the development of international standards

 - Voluntary standards: positive contribution to our world; encourage global trade

 - Worldwide collaboration (WTO, UN, ILO, WHO…)

 - 157 country members, representing 98% of the world economy and 97% of its
  population. (ISO-Annual Report 2008)




                                                                                    3
What is the purpose and scope of ISO 26000?
•   To assist organizations in addressing their SR;

•   To provide practical guidance related to operationalizing SR, identifying and engaging
    with stakeholders, and enhancing credibility of reports and claims made about SR;

•   To emphasize performance results and improvement;

•   To increase confidence and satisfaction in organizations among their customers and
    other stakeholders;

•   To be consistent with and not in conflict with existing documents, international treaties
    and conventions and existing ISO standards;

•   To promote common terminology in the SR field and broaden awareness of SR.

•   It is not intended to reduce any government's authority to address the SR of
    organizations; it is not intended to be a “non-tariff barrier to trade” (WTO)

•   It is not intended or appropriate for certification purposes. Any offer to certify, or claims
    to be certified to ISO 26000 would be a misrepresentation of the intent and purpose of
    this International Standard.

Timeline, Goals and Applicability

•   Initial ISO SR meeting 2001
•   First Working Group meeting 2005
•   DIS (Draft International Standard) approved by vote of ISO member bodies,
    February 2010
•   Final Draft International Standard approved by Working Group, May 2010
•   Planned publication = December 2010
•   “ISO 26000 provides guidance on the principles of SR, core subjects and
    issues, and guidance on SR implementation”
•   Likely recognized as universal and international SR standard
•   Standard that can link many of the existing global SR standards / initiatives
•   Global benchmark across all organizations in any industry, including
    outsourcing
How does ISO 26000 define
                     “social responsibility”?
•   2.16 social responsibility

•   responsibility of an organization for the impacts of its decisions and activities on
    society and the environment, through transparent and ethical behaviour that

•   contributes to sustainable development, including health and the welfare of society;

•   takes into account the expectations of stakeholders;

•   is in compliance with applicable law and consistent with international norms of
    behaviour; and

•   is integrated throughout the organization and practiced in its relationships.

•   Note 1 Activities include products, services and processes

•   Note 2 Relationships refer to an organization’s activities within its sphere of influence

3. Ways ISO 26000 is already being used
     globally – Carolyn Schmidt, ECOLOGIA
          “trial runs” / “early implementer” efforts + publicity
          (Netherlands; Denmark; Germany; Canada; China; Japan;
          South Africa . . .)
          Stakeholder engagement using the ISO 26000 “multi-
          stakeholder” consensus process
      Industry, Consumer, NGO, Government, Labor, SSRO* [+ Finance ?]
     DIFFERENT AND COMPLEMENTARY APPROACHES
         Validate existing beliefs in and strengthen implementation of “SR
         principles” – accountability, transparency, ethical behavior, etc.; use
         in choice of business partners; build SR networks
         Use specific recommendations in ISO 26000 to document CSR–
         strengthen your negotiating hand and marketing efforts
         Follow the structure of ISO 26000, work through principles, core
         subjects, stakeholder engagement, reporting, improvement plans etc.

THE SOLUTION
 6.2.3 Organizational
 governance – decision-
 making processes and
 structures (herders’
 cooperatives; SR factories)
 6.5.6 Environment –
 protection of the environment
 and restoration of natural
 habitats
 6.6.6 Fair operating
 practices – promoting social
 responsibility in the sphere of
 influence

  to go global ( recent $100,000,000 FDI from Goldman
  Sachs + British Ministry of Trade)
  What kinds of questions will they need to address, to reach
  global market?
  ISO 26000 as guide to international expectations

Most relevant:
 7.5 Communication on social responsibility (reporting) and
     stakeholder dialogue
               and
    Clause 6 (the 7 core subjects)
Priorities when implementing ISO 26000-
ECOLOGIA’s focus
ECOLOGIA’s WORK IN CHINA:
  Strengthen existing Chinese SR entrepreneurs’ competitiveness and
  brand appeal; expand into local, national and global SR markets
  Show how ISO 26000 guidance supports current Chinese national
  government policy to promote sustainable development and quality of
  life (economic, human health, environment)

GENERAL – APPLIES TO ANY SIZE COMPANY AND ANY LOCATION
  Attention to each of the 7 core subjects (Clause 6)
  Stakeholder involvement, two-way communication (Clause 5, Clause 7)
  Reporting; independent verification; marketing (Clause 7)
  Fair sharing of costs and benefits of implementing social responsibility
  throughout the value chain / supply chain (Clause 6.6.6.2)
  FLEXIBILITY - TAILOR YOUR USE OF ISO 26000 TO YOUR OWN
  CONTEXT, NEEDS, SIZE, ETC.

•   Prioritize Core Issues within SR Core Subject Areas
•   Set Specific Short-Term Targets (with Long-Range in Mind) & Establish
    Responsibilities
•   Leverage Cross-functional Teams

•   Revise/Develop Operating Procedures/Training/Norms Consistent with the
    SR Program
•   Internal and then External Communication

“GREEN FACTORY” as a Framework for SR
  • Uses Green Materials and Processes                • Produces lowest possible

                              • Is Energy Efficient
Strategic SR Planning – DfE and Supply Chain
Observations of ISO 26000 by SMEs
•   Many Small & Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) see ISO 26000 as
    more designed for large multi-national companies (broad-based
    international standard)
•   Labor practices in less developed countries still a concern
•   SMEs that are linked to international value chains are more
    interested
•   Many SMEs lack expertise/resources to understand the SR agenda,
    prioritize with business, estimate resources/costs to implement
•   Need to communicate internally how SR activities contribute to
    business
•   Personal values of owner/Sr. managers are a key driver of SR at
    SMEs
•   Many SMEs approach SR issues in a “non-integrated” manner
•   SMEs financed by SR investors more likely to address SR programs
    (2008 IISD Survey)

Using a Management
System/Governance to Drive SR

                                                    “Our social license to operate and our
                                                    responsibility as a steward of the land is a
    trust                                           that we continuously strive to uphold for
    the                                             benefit of future generations”.

    Red Dog operates the world’s largest zinc mine in a remote, Arctic environment. We believe that
    business growth and success are based on, sound economics, efficiency, innovation, as well as
    respect for people and the environment. In order to achieve our vision, Red Dog will:

•   Demonstrate (due diligence towards achieving compliance with environmental laws and permits)
•   Respect (the importance of subsistence and traditional lifestyles and historical artifacts of the
    Northwest Arctic region)
•   Prevent (pollution through waste minimization strategies and source reduction)
•   Minimize (the area impacted by mining activities)
•   Design (engineered structures for environmental impact during and after their usable life)
•   Foster (open communications with major stakeholders including NANA, employees and customers)
•   Implement (and maintain an Environmental Management System)
•   Strive (for continual improvement)

ISO : International Organization for Standardization - Private, not-for-profit organization established in 1947 (Geneva, Switzerland) - Promotes the development of international standards - Voluntary standards: positive contribution to our world; encourage global trade - Worldwide collaboration (WTO, UN, ILO, WHO…) - 157 country members, representing 98% of the world economy and 97% of its population. (ISO-Annual Report 2008) 3
  • 4. What is the purpose and scope of ISO 26000? • To assist organizations in addressing their SR; • To provide practical guidance related to operationalizing SR, identifying and engaging with stakeholders, and enhancing credibility of reports and claims made about SR; • To emphasize performance results and improvement; • To increase confidence and satisfaction in organizations among their customers and other stakeholders; • To be consistent with and not in conflict with existing documents, international treaties and conventions and existing ISO standards; • To promote common terminology in the SR field and broaden awareness of SR. • It is not intended to reduce any government's authority to address the SR of organizations; it is not intended to be a “non-tariff barrier to trade” (WTO) • It is not intended or appropriate for certification purposes. Any offer to certify, or claims to be certified to ISO 26000 would be a misrepresentation of the intent and purpose of this International Standard. Std Pres Kit 4
  • 5. Timeline, Goals and Applicability • Initial ISO SR meeting 2001 • First Working Group meeting 2005 • DIS (Draft International Standard) approved by vote of ISO member bodies, February 2010 • Final Draft International Standard approved by Working Group, May 2010 • Planned publication = December 2010 • “ISO 26000 provides guidance on the principles of SR, core subjects and issues, and guidance on SR implementation” • Likely recognized as universal and international SR standard • Standard that can link many of the existing global SR standards / initiatives • Global benchmark across all organizations in any industry, including outsourcing

  • 10. 3. Ways ISO 26000 is already being used globally – Carolyn Schmidt, ECOLOGIA “trial runs” / “early implementer” efforts + publicity (Netherlands; Denmark; Germany; Canada; China; Japan; South Africa . . .) Stakeholder engagement using the ISO 26000 “multi- stakeholder” consensus process Industry, Consumer, NGO, Government, Labor, SSRO* [+ Finance ?] DIFFERENT AND COMPLEMENTARY APPROACHES Validate existing beliefs in and strengthen implementation of “SR principles” – accountability, transparency, ethical behavior, etc.; use in choice of business partners; build SR networks Use specific recommendations in ISO 26000 to document CSR– strengthen your negotiating hand and marketing efforts Follow the structure of ISO 26000, work through principles, core subjects, stakeholder engagement, reporting, improvement plans etc. (ex. MACTEC’s “gap analysis”; ECOLOGIA’s “handbook”, others) NHBSR Spring 2010 Conference - ECOLOGIA / 10 ISO 26000
  • 11.

  • 12. Sustainable Cashmere: working throughout the global supply chain PROBLEM: Increasing global sales of an unsustainably grown and unsustainably priced high-end luxury product (cashmere clothing) Too many goats = desertification = long-term destruction of region Low prices for raw cashmere = dramatic expansion of herds NHBSR Spring 2010 Conference - ECOLOGIA / 12 ISO 26000
  • 13. Building a “triple bottom line” sustainable supply/value chain THE SOLUTION 6.2.3 Organizational governance – decision- making processes and structures (herders’ cooperatives; SR factories) 6.5.6 Environment – protection of the environment and restoration of natural habitats 6.6.6 Fair operating practices – promoting social responsibility in the sphere of influence
  • 14. Hi-min Solar Corporate headquarters, education and conference center in Shandong
  • 15. Hi-min Solar World class high tech alternative energy company aspiring to go global ( recent $100,000,000 FDI from Goldman Sachs + British Ministry of Trade) What kinds of questions will they need to address, to reach global market? ISO 26000 as guide to international expectations Most relevant: 7.5 Communication on social responsibility (reporting) and stakeholder dialogue and Clause 6 (the 7 core subjects)
  • 16. Priorities when implementing ISO 26000- ECOLOGIA’s focus ECOLOGIA’s WORK IN CHINA: Strengthen existing Chinese SR entrepreneurs’ competitiveness and brand appeal; expand into local, national and global SR markets Show how ISO 26000 guidance supports current Chinese national government policy to promote sustainable development and quality of life (economic, human health, environment) GENERAL – APPLIES TO ANY SIZE COMPANY AND ANY LOCATION Attention to each of the 7 core subjects (Clause 6) Stakeholder involvement, two-way communication (Clause 5, Clause 7) Reporting; independent verification; marketing (Clause 7) Fair sharing of costs and benefits of implementing social responsibility throughout the value chain / supply chain (Clause 6.6.6.2) FLEXIBILITY - TAILOR YOUR USE OF ISO 26000 TO YOUR OWN CONTEXT, NEEDS, SIZE, ETC.

  • 19. Key Implementation/Planning for SR Programs § Legal & “Other” Requirements and Compliance Stakeholders Employees Community Customers Regulators Interest Groups Human Rights External/Internal Parties; Consumers/Community Continual Improvement/Culture
  • 20. Integration with Existing Systems/Programs • ISO 14001 • OHSAS 18001 • SA8000 • EU Eco-Label • FTSE4Good Criteria & DJSI • CERES Principles • Sarbanes Oxley • Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) • Many Other Sustainability Reporting/Programs 20
  • 21. Examples of Implementation Tips • Spend Time Understanding “Stakeholders” • Use Established Management Practices & Programs • Prioritize Core Issues within SR Core Subject Areas • Set Specific Short-Term Targets (with Long-Range in Mind) & Establish Responsibilities • Leverage Cross-functional Teams • Top Management and Respected Company Leaders is Key • Allocate Sufficient Resources to Allow Targets and Goals to be Met • Revise/Develop Operating Procedures/Training/Norms Consistent with the SR Program • Internal and then External Communication • Incorporate SR into Purchasing and Investment Practices • Build Issues of SR into HR Management and other Key organization/business areas (Integrate!) 21
  • 22. “GREEN FACTORY” as a Framework for SR • Uses Green Materials and Processes • Produces lowest possible for Manufacturing emissions • Recycling • Promotes a Healthy Work • Uses closed loop Environment cleaning processes • Minimizes the generation of hazardous and non- non- hazardous waste • Is Energy Efficient
  • 23. Strategic SR Planning – DfE and Supply Chain
  • 24. Observations of ISO 26000 by SMEs • Many Small & Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) see ISO 26000 as more designed for large multi-national companies (broad-based international standard) • Labor practices in less developed countries still a concern • SMEs that are linked to international value chains are more interested • Many SMEs lack expertise/resources to understand the SR agenda, prioritize with business, estimate resources/costs to implement • Need to communicate internally how SR activities contribute to business • Personal values of owner/Sr. managers are a key driver of SR at SMEs • Many SMEs approach SR issues in a “non-integrated” manner • SMEs financed by SR investors more likely to address SR programs (2008 IISD Survey) 24
  • 25. Using a Management System/Governance to Drive SR “Our social license to operate and our responsibility as a steward of the land is a trust that we continuously strive to uphold for the benefit of future generations”. Red Dog operates the world’s largest zinc mine in a remote, Arctic environment. We believe that business growth and success are based on, sound economics, efficiency, innovation, as well as respect for people and the environment. In order to achieve our vision, Red Dog will: • Demonstrate (due diligence towards achieving compliance with environmental laws and permits) • Respect (the importance of subsistence and traditional lifestyles and historical artifacts of the Northwest Arctic region) • Prevent (pollution through waste minimization strategies and source reduction) • Minimize (the area impacted by mining activities) • Design (engineered structures for environmental impact during and after their usable life) • Foster (open communications with major stakeholders including NANA, employees and customers) • Implement (and maintain an Environmental Management System) • Strive (for continual improvement) ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTING A BETTER TOMORROW
