Guidance on Social Responsibility has extended the concept of corporate social responsibility to that of organiza- tional social responsibility and touches several politically sensitive issues such as human rights, labor practices, international norms of behavior, good governance, and international conventions and treaties, with potential negative impacts and even risks on organizations in the developing economies. This paper addressed this issue by proposing strategies for those organizations in the developing economies to implement organizational social responsibility as guided by ISO 26000, including systematic risk mitiga- tion strategies such as institutional, societal, economic and technological ones and organizational capacity building strategies such as governing, economic, technological, and competency strategies. It is concluded that it is of great positive significance for or- ganizations of different types to implement social responsibility in contributing to sustainable development in view of organizational effectiveness and efficiency promotion, growth mode transformation, and development pattern improvement. Organizations should be responsive and adaptive in taking those social responsibilities commensurate to their differentiated capacities and diverse con- texts under which they operates. In so doing, organizations are able to benefit from the strengths of social responsibility implemen- tation with risks effectively mitigated.
