SR 10 and ONR 192500 were developed as certifiable standards on the basis of ISO 26000 (Guidance on Social Responsibility).
ONR 192500 was created by Austrian Standards, SR 10 by IQNET, Switzerland.
In accordance with ISO 26000, these standards implement the anchoring of corporate social responsibility (CSR) within a company. They contain the principles of social responsibility and explain the relevant approaches, such as the involvement of stakeholders, the due diligence process, materiality analysis and the scope of the value chain.
The following seven core topics are addressed:
- Organizational governance
- Environment
- Human rights
- Labor practices
- Fair operating and business practices
- Consumer concerns
- Community involvement and development
The company must address these core issues. It can therefore be seen that SR 10 / ONR 192500 reflects the topics of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) / ESRS (European Sstainability Reporting Standards).
As they are structured according to the „High Level Structure“, they also have the advantage of being very easy to integrate into other management systems such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 or ISO 37301.
- Basis for sustainability reporting (CSRD/ESRS)
- Basis for a supply chain audit
- Confidence-building certifications (suppliers, locations, etc.)
- Support for dialog with internal and external parties
- Promotion of risk and opportunity management
Any type of organization, regardless of size, industry and location. In contrast to SR 10, ONR 192500 is rather positioned in German-speaking countries.
Taking the topic-related standards of the ESRS as an example, the core topics of SR 10 / ONR 192500 can be found here:
- ESRS E1 Climate change
- ESRS E2 Environmental pollution
- ESRS E3 Water and marine resources
- ESRS E4 Biodiversity and ecosystems
- ESRS E5 Resource use and circular economy
- ESRS S1 Workforce of the company
- ESRS S2 Workforce in the value chain
- ESRS S3 Affected communities
- ESRS S4 Consumers and end users
- ESRS G1 Corporate policy
