The Credibility of Social Responsibility from the Perspective of ISO 26 000. The Case of a Non-profit Association
he Credibility of Social Responsibility from the Perspective of ISO 26 000. The Case of a Non-profit Association
It is not enough to consider that organizations must be responsible: it is necessary to specify that responsibility, since it is the reputation of the organizations that is at stake and with it, the trust and support of the different interest groups that grant them their license social to function.
Credibility is closely linked to a company’s reputation. To increase credibility, ISO 26 000 firstly recommends the need to establish a permanent dialogue with interested parties. Likewise, the organization may consider joining certification systems that have a good reputation. Participation in independent committees and participation in associations of organizations that promote RS also contribute to increasing the company’s credibility.
The objective of this study of quantitative nature to be carried out is to determine whether the organization complies with the measures defined in ISO to increase its credibility.
It is hoped that the results of this upcoming study can be replicated and demonstrate the importance of credibility in matters of social responsibility.
