Center for Corporate Auditing, Responsibility and Management policy Authoring

Introduction
—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.

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.
