PAS 24000

Social Management System Certification for Human Rights, Labour Practices, Health & Safety and Business Ethics

PAS 24000 is an internationally recognized specification for Social Management Systems, providing organizations with a structured framework to manage human rights, labour practices, occupational health & safety, business ethics, and social responsibility

Certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to monitoring and improving its social impact, through independently verified management practices. It promotes inclusion, equality, fair treatment, and employee well-being through independent and verified management practices.

By implementing PAS 24000, organizations strengthen corporate governance, codify ethical business principles, and establish effective controls to address social and workplace risks. The standard also supports ESG objectives, enhances stakeholder confidence, and drives continual improvement in social performance across operations and supply chains.

PAS 24000 is suitable for:

Manufacturing, logistics, food, agriculture and service companies
Suppliers to large corporate and international supply chains

Businesses already certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 37001, ISO 37301
