If you aren't convinced that social responsibility in sourcing isn't important to companies, then you haven't been talking to the business associates at Ben & Jerry's. The socially conscious ice cream manufacturer based in Vermont touts using ethically conscious products from sustainably grown vanilla to fair trade cocoa.
This values-led business takes social responsibility to a level most companies cannot touch. It's throughout their decades-old mission statement. Their employee's are challenged to a once annual personal "Social Mission". And, of course, social and ethical responsibility is integral to their product sourcing as well.
All of this adds up to an amazing company offering some sweet desserts and advertising campaigns -ads like the one I found in my Sunday paper two days ago (see above.)
Sample Test Question: Task 1-D-1

A) ISO standards
B) Sarbanes-Oxley Act
C) MSDS

Material Safety Data Sheet [MSDS]can be clearly eliminated as it relates to OSHA compliance for organizations.
I think since both ISO standards and SOX Act enforces organizations to define, demonstrate, communicate, implement, impart trainings and measure compliance, the correct answer may be option D)
Satyam,
You are exactly correct. Initial ISO standards in some companies may have simply included 'stating' standards, but not necessarily demonstrating their adherance. However, the current expectation for ISO standards includes demonstration and training on those standards much like the SOX Act requires of public accounting in US public companies.
And you are correct that MSDS does not belong in there at all.
Nicely done.
I sent you one mail. Please be so kind to reply to that
