Respect for the rule of law is a fundamental principle of democratic and just societies, providing protection for all people and for our environment. ISO 26000 SGN supports this core principle of Global Social Responsibility, as stated in ISO 26000: “The rule of law refers to the supremacy of law and, in particular, to the idea that no individual or organization stands above the law and that government is also subject to the law. The rule of law contrasts with the arbitrary exercise of power.” (ISO 26000, clause 4.6)
