ISO 26000 CSR & Sustainability Maturity Audit
Strengthening your company commitment to social responsibility
Strengthen your organisation’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability performance through DEKRA’s ISO 26000 Maturity Audit.
This independent evaluation helps you understand how your policies and practices align with international social responsibility standards, including ISO 26000:2010, ESG, and GRI frameworks.
By identifying strengths and gaps, you gain a clear roadmap to improve your ethical governance, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable operations — all critical for long-term trust and resilience.
Why ISO 26000 Matters
Modern organisations face increasing scrutiny from investors, partners and the public. Failing to demonstrate a structured approach to social responsibility can result in:
- Reputational and brand risk
- Loss of competitive advantage in sustainability tenders
