Extra-financial ratings and social responsibility audits require the utmost precision, leaving no room for approximation. Apart from the fact that our criteria are based on internationally recognised CSR standards, our method guarantees:
- A system of analysis and rating that is impartial and may be reproduced
- Traceability of the information collected
|
|
|
|
A CSR reference model based on internationally recognised standards, in relation to their sector. |
|
|
|
Forty social responsibility objectives, grouped into six fields are evaluated on the basis of about 200 action steps, enabling us to enquire into management systems.
Each criterion is applied in relation to its sector relevance and is given a consideration representing the relative weight of social responsibility objectives relating to it. |

A management reference model focused on continuous improvement |
