General Resources

ISM is a member of the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on Social Responsibility, which is headed by the Americal Society for Quality (ASQ). The guidance standard will be published in 2008 as ISO 26000 and be voluntary to use. It will not include requirements and will thus not be a certification standard.
