Angel Stabilized Approach

A company in Middle East apply to their SOP that pilot have to be stabilized by 1000 ft AGL in VMC & IMC, reason is for the safety, while we all knew that the issue of stabilized approach by Flight Safety Foundation was 500 ft AGL in VMC and 1000 ft in IMC this was also use by Boeing & Airbus FCTM, I do believe that the Flight Safety Foundation made this issue without reason ,maybe this is the optimum safety that they found after being study on this issue, so I would like to know that other airlines using standard stabilized approach at 500 ft AGL and 1000 ft AGL are less safe?? and stabilized at 1000 ft AGL is more professional consider traffic during final approach in VMC?

if this really safe than Flight Safety Foundation has made a wrong issue
