  1. ISO 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility A Tool to Check for Effectiveness Development Status, June 2009 An Industry View David Felinski, Vice-President IFAN (International Federation of Standards Users) and IFAN Expert to ISO/TMB WG SR, and Guido Guertler, ICC Observer to ISO/TMB WG SR

  2. Available Slide Series The Project ISO 26000 Contents and Players Applicability Aspects ISO 26000 CD Vote by March 2009 Success Criteria Risk of Failure Tool: Check for Effectiveness The present subset is the one marked in bold

  3. Outline • Recognition (awareness), “but”… • What is the “Effectiveness Matrix”? • The “Effectiveness Matrix” Logic • The “Effectiveness Matrix” Example • Downloadable Documents • Encouragement

  4. Recognition, but… (1/3) A most frequent notion about SR is: CanI? Where should I start… YES, I really want to do something! …and what could I effectively influence?

  5. Recognition, but… (2/3) • Recognizing what 400+ experts from all over the world consider important for the enhancement of organizations’ social responsibilities, … • Recognizing the overall ISO 26000 goal to globally promote social responsibility to all kinds of organizations, … • …there is a small “but”

  6. Recognition, but… (3/3) • Suppose an organization is willing to do more on social responsibility, the “but” relates to its real human and financial resources/abilitiesto - transposethe offered guidance into practice and to - whatdegree of effectiveness it can reasonably expect to attain. The Effectiveness Matrix helps identifying possibilities

  7. The Effectiveness Matrix…(1/2) • …is an easy to understand and easy to use toolto gauge how effective an organization can reasonably expect to be in applying SR core subjects and issues • …can be used by „all types of organizations, regardless of their size and location“ (to quote the ISO 26000 Scope)

  8. Die Wirksamkeitsmatrix … (2/2) • …does not need any advisors or consultants external to the organization • …is a good instrument for initiating adialogue with stakeholders or any other parties.

  9. Effectivenss Matrix; Terms (1/2) Clause 6 of ISO 26000 mentions these core subject: • Organizational Governance • Human Rights • Labor Practices • The Environment • Fair Operating Practices • Consumer Issues, and • Community Involvement and Development

  10. Effectivenss Matrix; Terms (2/2) A “core subject“ is structured by several „issues“:

  11. The Effectiveness Matrix; Basic Logic (1/5) The left-most column reproduces the ISO 26000 core subjects and issues Remaining columns ask five questions in each row Relevance? Stake holders? Effectiveness? Activities? Impact? Core Subjectsand Issues

  12. The Effectiveness Matrix; Basic Logic (2/5) The actual column headings read as follows: Use is from left to right: If an answer in a box is positive (YES on the next slide) continue with this line, if it is negative (NO on the next slide) this line is done

  13. The Effectiveness Matrix; Basic Logic (3/5)

  14. Effectiveness Matrix; Basic Logic (4/5) Relevance of a core subject • Question: is the core subject relevant to my organization? • If NO, go to next core subject • If YES, continue with checking whether the issues of this core subject can effectively be dealt with

  15. Effectiveness Matrix; Basic Logic (5/5) Relevance of an issue • Question: is the issue relevant to my organization? • If NO, go to next issue of this core subject • If YES, continue with checking the next of the five questions on this “issue”; if one check is negative, the line is done; go to next issue

  16. Effectiveness Matrix; Example (1/6) • The following represents the practical application of the „Effectiveness Matrix“ by a 30-person software developing company in Germany. • The complete matrix (Word document) is downloadable from http://www.26k-estimation.com/html/english.html

  17. Effectiveness Matrix; Example (2/6) “Anticorruption”

  18. Effectiveness Matrix; Example (3/6) “Climate Change”

  19. Effectiveness Matrix; Example (4/6) “Health and Safety at Work”

  20. Effectiveness Matrix; Example (5/6) Spezific Result • ISO 26000 offers guidance for 37 issues • 5 issues canbe effectively dealt with:- Sustainable resource use - Anti-corruption - Promotion in the own sphere of influence- Education and culture - Employment creation and skills development • 32 issues can not be effectively dealt with

  21. Effectiveness Matrix; Example (6/6) Summary • To work through the matrix is a relatively easy and efficient process to selectthosecore subjects and issues, where “my” organization can try to enhance its social responsibility- substantially;- effectively;- reasonably; and- in a sustainable manner.

  22. Encouragement • Feel free to try the „Effectiveness Matrix“ with your own organization! It can be downloaded from http://www.26k-estimation.com/html/english.html • Any proposals on further development of this tool, or on creating additional ones for an effective use of ISO 26000 are more than welcome! • Please send your ideas to guido.guertler@t-online.de
