I think one of the measures should be if the company gives back to the community through Charity, funding, volunteering, etc.

I do not agree with all or nothing for each measure. I suggest that each measure should be on a scale of say 1 to 10, then within each measure we should assign points for each criteria met all adding up to 10. Suggest following measures: 1. environmental footprint including bringing to final user. 2. is the product used by individual, local community or nation-world. 3. longevity of product, my experience most low cost imported products do not last as long as locally made ones.

The purpose of this field guide is to assist organizations, step by step, in implementing a quality management system (QMS) in conformance with ISO 9001:2008, whether from scratch or by transitioning from ISO 9001:2000. It examines each sub-clause of Sections 4–8 of ISO 9001:2008, which contain the requirements, and gives a list of the documentation/documents required, internal audit questions, a summary of management’s responsibilities, and a flowchart of the steps that need to be undertaken to satisfy the requirements.
