Podcast: ISO 26000 for Social Responsibility Has Implications for ERP

The ISO 26000 standard for social responsibility - due for official release in September of 2010 - is influenced heavily by thIFS Radio Networke UN Global Compact. Are you ready for this new standard? What are the implications for ERP and other enterprise software industrial companies use to run their business?

 In this month's interview segment of the IFS Radio Network podcast series, APICS-certified expert Bill Leedale, senior advisor with IFS North America, provides an overview, describing how the right enterprise software can ease compliance in the key areas of human rights, labor, the environment and corruption.

"It seems that there needs to be a way for companies to be aware of their impact on the various areas that the UN and ISO consider important from a corporate citizenship perspective - especially when we look at the Gulf right now that is full of oil. BP does not seem to have a very good reputation for being a good corporate citizen right now in the marketplace - and that is just the latest example... It doesn't matter if you are a large organization or a small to medium organization, there is a need to be aware of the 10 principles of the compact as well as how those principles relate to the ISO 26000 document that is coming out in a couple months."
