ISO 26000:2010 4.4: Ethical behaviour

What does 4.4 require?

An organization should act ethically, guided by honesty, fairness and integrity and by care for the environment, animals and people, and should actively promote ethical conduct. It can do so by: identifying and setting out its core values and principles; building governance structures that encourage ethical conduct in decisions and dealings; identifying, adopting and applying ethical standards that suit its purpose and fit the principles of the standard, and encouraging people to follow them; setting out and communicating the ethical standards expected of its governing bodies, staff, suppliers and contractors and, where suitable, its owners and managers, especially those able to shape its values, culture, integrity, strategy and operations; preventing or settling conflicts of interest; putting in place oversight and controls that monitor, support and enforce ethical conduct; keeping channels through which unethical conduct can be reported without fear of retaliation; recognising and dealing with situations where there is no local law or where local law conflicts with ethical conduct; applying internationally recognised ethical standards to research involving human subjects; and respecting animal welfare in how animals are kept, bred, produced, transported and used.
