Center for Corporate Auditing, Responsibility and Management policy Authoring

Federal Government of the United States's whistleblower awareness poster

Introduction

 National professional associations are encouraged to develop and review their codes of ethics and conduct to strengthen environmental connections and commitment. The training and personal development components of programmes sponsored by professional bodies should ensure incorporation of skills and information on the implementation of sustainable development at all points of policy- and decision-making.  

Agenda 21

The Center for Corporate Auditing, Responsibility and Management policy Authoring is dedicated to the development of corporate policies for companies, foundations, associations and projects (e.g. open source or crowdfunding projects). The same sub-topic can be addressed in several entirely different policies, but policies that share certain aspects should be structured to refer to the commonalities in only one of the two documents, or in a third document, acting as a base policy for both documents.

Implementation requirements

Explicit implementation of policies

If not otherwise required by a policy all policies must be implemented explicitly. That means the company that intends to implement a policy must either make a public statement that it implements the policy or it must publish its own policies that satisfy the requirements of policies found in the category Business Policy and make explicit references to versions of these policies in its own policies, stating the intent to implement the policies referred to.
