Training Presentation/Powerpoint:
ISO 26000:2010 (Social Responsibility) Awareness Training
DESCRIPTION
In today's fast-evolving global landscape, organizations are under increasing pressure to operate transparently, ethically, and sustainably. ISO 26000:2010 offers comprehensive guidance for embedding Social Responsibility (SR) into all aspects of an organization—empowering businesses to act with integrity while contributing to long-term economic, environmental, and social well-being.
This presentation delivers a clear and practical introduction to ISO 26000, helping organizations understand and apply its core principles, integrate SR across operations, and build meaningful stakeholder relationships. Rooted in global norms and aligned with frameworks like the UN Sustainable Development Goals, ISO 26000 supports companies in navigating complex expectations from customers, investors, employees, and communities.
Participants will explore the seven core subjects of SR, learn how to assess their current state, set improvement priorities, and build SR into governance, strategy, and communications.
Whether you're a business leader, public sector manager, or part of a civil society organization, this deck is a customizable training tool designed to inspire responsible decision-making and sustainable value creation.
Note: The ISO 26000:2010 guidance standard itself was last reviewed and confirmed in 2025 by the ISO/TMBG technical committee. This awareness presentation is based on that latest confirmed version of the standard.
