ISO sends Social Responsibility Standard Draft to Committee
28th September 2008 by Alex Briggs
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) released its Social Responsibility Standard to the committee stage, moving it one step closer to being an official ISO standard.
Nearly 400 experts and observers from around the world met at the ISO Social Responsibility Working Group, held September 1-5 in Santiago, Chile. There they agreed that sufficient progress had been made in developing the draft international standard on social responsibility for the “working draft” to be taken to “committee draft” level.
In the process of ISO standards’ development, this takes the draft standard one stage closer to the wider consultation and voting phases that could see it available for public use globally in 2010.
