WORLDCOB-CSR:2011.1 is an international standard and certification in Corporate Social Responsibility developed by World Confederation of Businesses (WORLDCOB). Compliance with this standard requires the organization to adhere to a culture of ethical values, maintain and comply with a Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, and sustain a process of continuous improvement in the topics defined by the standard.

WORLDCOB developed this standard consistently with its own corporate mission where it is publicly committed to promote Corporate Social Responsibility values among its members and reach of influence. This commitment inspires WORLDCOB to continually develop and offer tools for companies to adhere to such values.

An organization that is certified with WORLDCOB-CSR:2011.1 has made public commitments, as required by the standard, that will benefit its stakeholders and community. WORLDCOB’s role is to provide the framework, assist in the implementation process, and finally audit the results. In addition to the direct benefits to the parties outlined, the certification will create benefits for the organization itself, as its prestige is increased, along with employee and consumer confidence and loyalty.
