ISO 26000:2010 (SRMS)
ISO 26000:2010 - Social Responsibility Management System (SRMS)
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) created ISO 26000:2010, a widely accepted guidance standard that helps businesses comprehend and incorporate social responsibility (SR) into their operations, values, and decision-making procedures. ISO 26000 is not meant for certification, in contrast to other ISO standards. Rather, it functions as a voluntary framework to encourage moral conduct, openness, and sustainable growth.
We actively encourage the adoption and integration of ISO 26000 principles as part of TUV Saudi Arabia’s (TUV SA) dedication to promoting corporate social responsibility across industries. Our overarching goal of advancing sustainability, compliance, and long-term value for companies and society is in line with this.
