ISO 26000 is the designation of the future International Standard giving guidance on social responsibility (SR). It is intended for use by organizations of all types, in both public and private sectors, in developed and developing countries. It will assist them in their efforts to operate in the socially responsible manner that society increasingly demands. ISO 26000 contains guidance, not requirements, and therefore will not be for use as a certification standard like ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015
