A social management system is a structured framework of policies, processes and procedures that an organization uses to achieve its social objectives, ensuring fair treatment of workers, safe working environments and compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Aligned with ISO’s management system approach and Harmonized Structure
FSSC 24000 aligns with ISO’s management system standards to help structure, focus and drive continuous improvement, creating high-impact business systems. ISO’s Harmonized Structure enables easy integration with other ISO management systems like ISO 9001 (quality management), integrating the same approach to achieve social objectives.
FSSC 24000 incorporates the internationally recognized, independent PAS 24000 (specification for social management systems) standard, which includes social performance requirements. PAS 24000 and FSSC 24000 documents are free to download from the FSSC website.
