Workshop: Using the ISO 26000 Standard on Social Responsibility as Guidance for Environmental Justice
How do we pursue environmental justice? What is our role as environmental manager? The soon-to-be published ISO 26000 standard on Social Responsibility may provide a useful guide for environmental managers and others to strategies and activities that will serve this purpose.
This workshop session will explore whether or not the new ISO 26000 guidance document on social responsibility would be a useful tool for capturing environmental justice principles. The following are a few questions to hopefully help with the discussion:
- What is the environmental manager’s definition of environmental justice?
- As environmental managers do we feel there is a connection between environmental justice and social responsibility and to what extent?
- Would a document like ISO 26000 on social responsibility be a useful tool for environmental justice?
Eh Who us responsible for environmental justice and is linking it with social responsibility the most effective way to approach it?
