13 Global Compact & ISO 26000 Nexus of Objectives & Visions
Make the 10 principles part of business strategy, operations and culture everywhere. Facilitate partnerships toward UN goals – MDGs. Vision: “Sustainable and inclusive global economy” ISO 26000: The significance of good corporate governance - Johannesburg Plan of Implementation. Encouraging multi-stakeholder approaches including the private sector “to improve social and environmental performance through voluntary initiatives”. “SR is essential to the sustainability of an Organization” (1992 Rio Declaration & WSSD2002)

14 The Global Compact & ISO 26000
-Intern. Guidance Standard on SR - No third-party certification - Not a management system - To be applied by all types of organizations - Target date: 2008 publication Global Compact - A voluntary SR initiative - 10 universal principles: Human Rights Labour Conditions Environment Anti-Corruption

16 Challenges of Implementation of International SR ISO 26000
If the international standard on SR is to become a truly global force (there is a need to rationalize and align ISO with robust and universally recognized Declarations/Conventions, inter-alia, human rights, labour rights, environmental protection, and anti-corruption). A defensive approach if the SR practices are not tailored national economic social structures (No imposition through international supply chain & investment). If the current multi-stakeholders approach failed to yield consensus (Government etc.) - social legitimacy. Do not just think of the media as a conduit, but as a target itself (often arrogant, cavalier attitude that treats media as a channel to reach wider audiences) Nurture the relationship

17 Perspective on implementation ISO 26000
Strengthen capacity building process in emerging markets/developing societies. Enhance organizations’ contributions towards socio-economic development. Manage globalization’s new risks/opportunities- inclusive opportunity for organizations and other stakeholders located in developing countries Southern stakeholders are now participating in ISO Process in order to embrace the SR agenda - North vs South issues Enhancement of national competitiveness by stimulating SR performance Make societies and markets more sustainable and equitable (PPP).
