More and more companies and organizations integrate sustainability and social responsibility into their management systems. It provides structure and systematics to their sustainability efforts. There are however no clear guidelines on how this can be done in the best way. Following an initiative from Sweden, the work now begins with an ISO International Workshop Agreement (IWA) with guidance on how an organization can include social responsibility in their management systems.

The IWA aims to:

a) enable businesses and organizations to benefit from using ISO 26000 guidance on social responsibility in their existing management systems;

b) promote ISO 26000 among management system standards users and promote the use of management systems to users of ISO 26000.

Mr. Yin Gefei, the Founder & Chief Expert of GoldenBee, participated in drafting of IWA documents and attended the first workshop in Stockholm in March, 2017 and the second workshop in London this May held by ISO. During the meetings, Mr. Yin put forward comments from relevant Chinese experts on IWA documents and modified these documents together with experts from other countries.
