Corporate Responsibility

​Your stakeholders demand that you conduct your business responsibly. A sound corporate responsibility approach helps you improve the environmental, social and economic impacts of your business.

Purpose

​Corporate responsibility is as much about what you do today as about where you want to be in the future. Sustainable companies take one step at a time, working hard to improve all aspects of their business over time. Certification is one tool that can help you down the road toward sustainable business performance. Whether specific corporate responsibility standards addressing workers’ health and safety ethical business behaviour or more generic standards targeting management of quality, energy, environment, business continuity management, or other issues, compliance to these standards will help you improve over time.

Benefits

​Compliance enables you to credibly communicate your commitment to a sustainable business performance. This, in turn, enhances brand reputation, builds stakeholder trust, attracts quality investors and employees and helps maintain long-term profitability.
Sustainability Reporting ​Companies are increasingly disclosing their social and environmental performance together with their financial reporting. Good communication helps to manage the expectations of a wide range of stakeholders scrutinising your business, from investors, auditors and regulators to non-governmental organisations and the media. Certification ​Certification, or registration, to a standard is the outcome of a successful assessment by an independent third party like DNV Business Assurance. FSC Chain of Custody ​​An FSC® Chain of Custody certificate for products proves that the wooden parts of your certified products are possible to trace back to well-managed forests, company controlled sources or recycled material. Product Sustainability ​Production of goods is no longer just a question of economic costs, but also of environmental costs. Certification to relevant standards proves that your products are environmentally friendly. Social Accountability ​​Companies are increasingly held accountable for social and ethical aspects of their business, including their value chain. A social accountability system is a good way to assure customers that you protect workers’ rights and ensure ethical production of goods. Social Responsibility (ISO 26000) ​The ISO 26000 Social Responsibility standard is expected to set the norm for Social Responsibility in the time to come. It is a guidance standard and provides recommendations on social responsibility. Training
