When deciding whether to join or use a social responsibility initiative, an organization should ask: whether the initiative fits the clause 4 principles; whether it offers useful, practical guidance on a core subject, an issue or integration; whether it was built for organizations like this one or for its fields of interest; whether it applies locally, regionally or worldwide, and to every kind of organization; whether it will help in reaching particular stakeholder groups; what kind of bodies created and run it (governments, NGOs, trade unions, business, academia) and how reputable, credible and sound they are; whether it was built, and is run, through a process that involves many stakeholders, is open, transparent and accessible, and includes participants from both developed and developing countries; and how accessible it is, for instance whether signing a contract or paying fees is needed. It should read the answers carefully: broad uptake may signal that an initiative is workable and relevant, or that its demands are weaker; a new initiative may be ground-breaking or untested; and whether it costs money tells nothing about its quality.
