It addresses the issue of social responsibility and sustainable development in the food supply chain.This standard is proposed as a guideline for the use of ISO 26000 for companies in the food sector , a strategic production sector for our country.
It wants to help the food chain adopt responsible behavior in a systematic way, regardless of the size of the organizations involved and their geographical location.
CSQA can offer a gap analysis service aimed at helping organizations in their path of awareness on the issue of social responsibility.
