ISO 26000: Guidance on Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility: Doing the Right Thing

“ASQ believes that being ‘socially responsible’ means that people and organizations must behave ethically and with sensitivity toward social, cultural, economic and environmental issues. Striving for social responsibility helps individuals, organizations and governments have a positive impact on development, business and society with a positive contribution to bottom-line results.”

SR Walking Campaign at ASQ World Conference

In continuing ASQ’s Social Responsibility tradition in educating World Conference on Quality and Improvement attendees on the broad spectrum of social responsibility, join us this year in focusing on health and wellness with the 2012 Walk the Walk Toward Results Campaign. All attendees are welcome to participate.

Health and wellness is an important component to the ISO 26000: Social Responsibility Guidance Standard.

• Environment: Every individual can do their part to lower their carbon footprint, and walking  is one of the easiest ways to do so. In return, you are helping to eliminate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that can be harmful to the air and climate.
• Community Involvement and Development: Increasing daily exercise benefits your overall health and wellness, which in turn contributes to the public health of your community.

Participate in the Walk the Walk Toward Results activities and learn more about the benefits of walking and how it relates to social responsibility initiatives.
