ISO 26000 and supply chains—On the diffusion of the social responsibility standard

Social Responsibility (SR) concerns the way in which organizations achieve their goals. This paper focuses on the overview of the SR as well as the endpoint of the continuous development of SR, the ISO 26000 standard and its core subjects. The aims are to give Information Technology (IT) professionals a better understanding of how to identify the core subjects of ISO 26000 relevant for their organizations and thus behave more responsible by taking actions towards sustainability. As stakeholders demand information and transparency from companies, it is imperative for companies them to report their environmental, economic, and social impact on the community. This paper examines the social responsibility reports, published from corporate websites of some the top IT companies in order to identify the issues that IT companies deal with, as well as in which issues related to the core subject of ISO 26000, they primary focus. The rest of the paper provides an overview on how IT companies can shift towards social responsibility and how they can integrate practices and technologies that benefit community, environment and stakeholders.

The ISO 26000 Guidance provides valuable conceptual and methodological guidelines for making corporate social action an effective tool through which organizations contribute to the solution of social problems within the communities they operate. These guidelines focus on their potential to contribute to the institutional strengthening of the social institutions of these communities, as well as to empower, generate autonomy, and develop skills in their final beneficiaries. Nevertheless, the academic literature has paid little attention to these guidelines. This document presents the results of pioneering research which was intended to provide information on the application of corporate social action. For measurement, a battery of 24 indicators was built and included in a structured questionnaire which was applied to a non-probabilistic sample of companies that carry out social actions. It was found that most of them apply the guidelines to a large extent and that this application correlates with the importance they assign to corporate social responsibility, with the degree to which they have incorporated it into their management, and with the construction of alliances with social organizations. Also, it was found that the application of these guidelines is independent of knowledge of the Guide and the approach to social responsibility that companies adopt.

The article aims to identify and demonstrate the benefits of other tools besides those already in place, tools that ensure greater responsibility for companies, namely tools to ensure the transition of production flows towards a sustainable approach. The research method included entities representing the interest of the capital and labor determiners, in order to identify their organizational structure and concrete elements deriving from this relationship. The collection of data was based on the analysis of 52 collective agreements in force, which involved the identification of the synergy with the ISO 26000 principles. The data processing involved the organization and classification of the collective agreement clauses based on the ISO 26000 principles, following an individual analysis approach aimed to identify the synergy and compliance of the collective agreements with the ISO 26000 principles. The research highlighted a way of organizing at the level of the social partners fully adapted to the amplitude and characteristics of the environmental and social protection issues. Moreover, their work provides a concrete framework of commitments, expressed in a specific type of contract, namely the collective agreement. The latter integrates in a meaningful way the specific principles of ISO 26000, the situation that provides the collective bargaining institution as a solution to the need to make companies accountable, among others, for catalyzing the process of converting the transfer of the production flows towards the bioeconomic area. A collective agreement is a solution that does not involve the state intervention, it is immediate, and attracts binding commitments from companies to strengthen bioeconomy and social responsibility.

Abstract The study analyzed the essence of the social responsibility of organizations and indicated the areas of actions to which this concept applies in the organizations. Particular attention has been paid to CSR practices objected at employees as key stakeholders of the organization. The purpose of the study was achieved in the form of analysis of CSR practices addressed to employees of the selected organizations in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. It has been confirmed that the study subjects undertake socially responsible actions addressed to their employees. These actions are compliant with the guidelines of ISO 26000 standard in the area of practice in workplace. However, it has been shown that socially responsible objectives are not commonly present in the strategies of these organizations. Personal strategies and the knowledge of the concept of CSR among employees also occur not frequently enough. The presented study is a pilot study. The reached conclusions apply only to the participating organizations. However, it should be noted that the concept of CSR is not yet widely and successfully implemented in organizations within the Pomeranian Voivodeship. It requires further popularizing and intensifying. Also, the practices of CSR addressed to employees should be further improved.
