The aim of this paper is to discuss whether and to what extent the provisions of the standard ISO 26000 may provide guidance to organisations in the implementation of corporate social responsibility. It also presents the basic differences between ISO 26000 and other standards SA8000, GRI, AA1000, ISO 14001, ISO 9000. The paper presents the various CSR standards. The article is based on written sources, regulations and literature of subject. Awareness of corporate social responsibility through its recently intensified promotion has reached such a level that it is no longer a problem whether to implement the concept of corporate social responsibility, but how to do it. Because of the high profile of ISO within the business community, the decision by ISO to develop an SR standard represents a significant opportunity to "mainstream" the concept of social responsibility to a wide section of businesses and other organizations that have not heretofore been reached through the specialized SR rule instruments of other entities. The fact that experts from Account Ability (developers of AA 1000), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the UN Global Compact (UNGC), Social Accountability International (SA 8000), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD, responsible for the OECD Multinational Enterprise Guidelines), the International Labor Organization (ILO, responsible for the ILO Tripartite Declaration) and other international SR rule proponents participated in the ISO 26000 working group can be seen as recognition by these other SR rule developers of the bridging (and hence "mainstreaming") potential of ISO 26000. However, ISO 26000 is the new rule, the problem itself is not. The Article shows similarities and differences between standards and discuss whether certification is crucial to improve the organizational performance to comply with the requirements of various standards.
