the difference

  ISO26000 is a social responsibility guide standard numbered 26000 formulated by the International Standard Organization (ISO), which is the latest standard system developed after ISO9000 and ISO14000, which is a new field of ISO.

  SA8000:2008 is the core standard issued by the International Social Accountability Organization (SAI), and it is one of the earliest social responsibility standards in the world that can be audited. It is the world's first international standard of ethics based on the International Labour Organization Convention, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It was first published in October 1997.

The purpose of SA8000 is to ensure that the products provided by suppliers meet the requirements of social responsibility standards, namely SA8000 standard requirements. It focuses primarily on people, not products and the environment.

  3. ISO26000 is implemented independently by enterprises or organizations, while SA8000 is mostly implemented by enterprise customers. If the requirements are not met, shipments or orders may be prohibited.
