Why this kit exists
A credible ESG program isn't built from an annual report.
7 principles, 7 core subjects, 36 issues. Each one calls for policies, procedures and evidence.
Articles 4 to 7
Generic templates miss the standard
A values statement and a carbon footprint are not enough: principles, sphere of influence, due diligence, 36 issues, integration.
EcoVadis · Sedex · CDP
Customers and investors require evidence
Detailed, auditable ESG questionnaires aligned with recognized frameworks. Without a structured dossier, scores stay low.
CSRD
Disclosure rules raise the bar
Deep sustainability reporting for a growing scope. Without stakeholders, materiality and KPIs, reporting stays fragile.
$12,000 to $30,000
An ESG consulting engagement is costly
20 to 50 consultant days. The kit provides the written foundation, your budget goes to your teams, stakeholders and rollout.
Clause-by-clause mapping
Every ISO 26000:2010 article and issue → one document in the kit.
Article by article and subject by subject, the text of the standard and the documents provided. This is what an ESG rater or analyst asks to see first.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to your most common questions.
Is ISO 26000 certifiable?
No. It is a voluntary guidance standard, not a certifiable management system. The kit prepares you for external assessments built on the same concepts, such as EcoVadis or B Corp, implementation remains yours.
Are the documents editable?
Yes. 69 Word files and 22 Excel files, no locked PDFs. Neutral layout, ready for your logo and colors.
Does the kit help with ESG rating questionnaires?
Yes. Core subjects and correspondence matrices cover the four EcoVadis themes: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, sustainable procurement. Your own data and evidence remain to be added.
Does the license cover several entities?
It covers a single legal entity, with unlimited internal use. Multi-site rollout, group with subsidiaries or consulting firm: contact us for a suitable license.
When will I receive the files?
As soon as payment is confirmed, as an instant download. One ZIP, with folders by document type.
