Outline

AFAQ 26000 is operational at any stage in the development of your strategic approach: from a simple status review to the enhancement of value-added and recognition of efforts already extended by the company.

 

It is an exhaustively-compiled assessment covering the full spread of sustainable development-related challenges and issues:

 
  • strategic approach and managerial practices (vision and strategy, management, modes of production and resource use patterns, territorial footing, human resources management),
  • social responsibility performance (accounting for environmental-social-economic results).
 

The assessment resolves around a 3-phase process in an optimized timeframe.

 

When the AFAQ 26000 assessment of your company is completed, you are handed a social responsibility audit report. This report gives you a clear picture of the level of process maturity your sustainable development approach has reached, enabling you to pinpoint the areas where you need to sustain or further your efforts. This makes AFAQ 1000NR a powerful management tool that surfaces both strategic and operational pointers and guidelines for improvement.

On-site assessment conducted by a pair of assessors, sustainable development experts with complementary skillsets
