Corporate Social Responsibility is not what you communicate, not what you tell or write! It is about what you do It is about behavior! It is about the people! www.inHR.nl

Social Responsible Behavior = Being accountable, acting ethical, showing transparency, starting dialogues with both the internal & external STAKEHOLDERS over the social, economical & environmental impact of decisions & operations www.inHR.nl ISO 26000 & C orporate S ocial R esponsibility

Accountability also implies that the organization is answerable to those affected by its decisions and activities, as well as to society in general, for the overall impact on society of its decisions and activities www.inHR.nl ISO 26000 & C orporate S ocial R esponsibility

Ethical behavior An organization’s behavior should be based on the ethics of honesty, equity and integrity . These ethics imply a concern for people, animals and the environment and a commitment to address stakeholders’ interests. www.inHR.nl ISO 26000 & C orporate S ocial R esponsibility

accountability + ethical behavior in public this is likely to imply “ moral obligation” for acting socially responsible in line with this international standard www.inHR.nl ISO 26000 & C orporate S ocial R esponsibility

Local : in 2010 50% of purchases sustainable ISO 26000 & C orporate S ocial R esponsibility

Customers do want low prices, but not by sacrificing quality. They want products that are more efficient, that last longer and perform better. Increasingly, they want information about the entire life cycle of a product so that they can feel good about buying it! Mike Duke President and CEO, Wal-Mart

ISO 26000 not a certificated standard What if client demands that suppliers prove to act / produce in socially responsible manner? How to deal with this “request”, this spec ?

HR & CSR HR should take a initiating, facilitating & coordinating role to make CSR happen HR could ensure that management & employees are committed & able to show that SR in the organisation is more than a stakeholder statement!

C SR & HR (1) CSR is more than an opportunity for HR to demonstrate a strategic focus and act as a professional & understanding business partner because: CSR needs to be embedded in an organization's culture to make a change to actions and attitudes , and the support of the top team is critical to success CIPD UK ISO 26000 & C orporate S ocial R esponsibility

CSR & HR (2) HR already works at communicating and implementing ideas, policies, cultural & behavioral change across organizations Its role in influencing attitudes and links with line managers and the top team mean it is ideally placed to do the same with CSR!
