Overview

Everything you need for SA 8000 + ISO 26000, in one download

Preparing the documentation is the slowest and most confusing part of getting certified to SA 8000 + ISO 26000. You have to work out what the standard asks for, decide what to write, and turn it into a manual, procedures and records that an auditor will accept. Done from a blank page it takes months, and paying a consultant to do it can cost thousands.

The SA 8000 + ISO 26000 Documentation Toolkit gives you that whole system, already written and ready to edit. It is built by practitioners around the exact structure of the standard, so nothing an auditor expects is missing. You add your company details, adapt anything specific to your operation, and you have a complete, consistent social accountability & responsibility system that is ready for audit. Every single document you receive is listed and explained further down this page, so you know precisely what you are buying before you spend anything.

What makes this set specific

Built for your real production model, not a generic template

Two standards, one integrated system

A single management system that satisfies both SA 8000 social accountability and ISO 26000 social responsibility, with the manual mapping the SA 8000 requirements and the ISO 26000 principles and core subjects together.

The full social committee structure

Six committees with their charters and meeting templates, including grievance, harassment, sexual harassment, safety, works and quality control, which SA 8000 auditors expect to see functioning.

Human rights and labour SOPs

Standard operating procedures for child and forced labour, discrimination, fundamental human rights, working conditions, whistle blowing and grievance, the heart of an SA 8000 system.

Occupational health and safety built in

A complete OHS layer with hazard identification and risk assessment, an OHS management programme, emergency preparedness plans and safety SOPs, so worker safety is evidenced alongside social accountability.

Worked examples and tools

An Excel risk template, a social accountability compliance matrix, SA 8000 and worker audit questionnaires, and filled example forms so you can see exactly how each record is completed.

A complete training package included

Five training presentations, six literature chapters and workshops with worked answers, so you can train your Social Performance Team and workforce on SA 8000 and ISO 26000 without buying a separate course.

How the set is structured

141 controlled documents in 10 tiers

Each tier answers a different question and is approved at a different level, and every requirement is owned in exactly one place.

Social Accountability and Responsibility Manual (7 chapters, 2 annexures)

Questions

SA 8000 + ISO 26000 toolkit, frequently asked

Does this kit cover both SA 8000 and ISO 26000?+
Yes. It is a single integrated management system. The manual maps the SA 8000 social accountability requirements and the ISO 26000 principles and core subjects of social responsibility together, and the procedures, policies, committees and forms serve both.
What is the difference between SA 8000 and ISO 26000?+
SA 8000 is a certifiable social accountability standard focused on labour and human rights in the workplace, with an auditable management system. ISO 26000 is guidance on social responsibility, broader in scope but not certifiable. This kit runs them together so an organisation can be certified to SA 8000 while following ISO 26000 guidance.
Does it include the social committees SA 8000 expects?+
Yes. It includes six committees with charters and meeting templates, including grievance, harassment, sexual harassment, safety, works and quality control, plus the Social Performance Team form, which SA 8000 auditors look for.
Is a training package included?+
Yes. The kit comes with five training presentations, six literature chapters and workshops with worked answers, so you can train your team on SA 8000 and ISO 26000 as part of the same package.
What formats do I get?+
Everything is editable Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint. You replace the example organisation details and placeholders with your own before use.
What does the SA 8000 + ISO 26000 toolkit include?+
A clause-by-clause SA 8000 + ISO 26000 manual, 16 procedures, and 49 ready-to-use forms and records, plus sample filled examples. Everything is editable in Microsoft Word and Excel, and the full list is shown on this page.
Will it help me pass a certification audit?+
Yes. The documents are structured to the SA 8000 + ISO 26000 clauses an auditor checks and are written by experienced practitioners. You customise and implement them, and the kit gives you a complete, auditor ready system as your foundation.
What formats do I get, and can I edit them?+
Everything comes in editable Microsoft Word and Excel, with any presentations in PowerPoint. You replace the highlighted placeholders with your own details. No special software is needed.
How long does it take to customise?+
Most organisations tailor the core documents within a few days rather than the weeks or months it takes to write from a blank page. The manual and procedures are already written, so you are editing, not authoring.
How is it delivered?+
After your payment is confirmed, we send your files to you securely within 24 working hours, and usually much sooner. To keep the documents safe, we do not store them on public-facing servers.
Is there a licence limit or a subscription?+
There is no subscription. One purchase gives your organisation a perpetual licence with unlimited internal users, so your whole team can work on the documents.
Do I get updates when the standard changes?+
If SA 8000 + ISO 26000 is revised, you receive the updated documents free of charge, so your system stays current without buying again.
Is it suitable for my industry?+
The kit is written to the SA 8000 + ISO 26000 requirements, which apply across sectors. The documents are editable, so you keep what fits your operation and adapt or set aside anything that does not. It has been used by manufacturers, food businesses, laboratories, healthcare, IT and service companies.
How is this different from free templates online?+
Free templates are usually incomplete, generic, or out of date, and they leave you guessing what an auditor expects. This kit is a complete, current, clause-mapped set written by practitioners, with every document listed and explained so there are no surprises.
Can I check the toolkit before I buy?+
Yes. You can download a free sample document first to check the quality and writing style, so you can decide with confidence.
