Why NSBs Matter in ISO 26000
National Standard Bodies (NSBs) play a crucial role in the development, adoption, and promotion of ISO 26000. As ISO member bodies, they facilitate the translation and localization of the standard, support national implementation efforts, and connect stakeholders with international best practices.
NSBs serve as bridges between the international ISO community and local organizations, providing guidance, training, and support for social responsibility adoption across all sectors.
