A commitment to internationally recognised CSR standards |
|
|
|
International institutions issue guidelines (or recommendations and conventions) to states and/or companies which, if adhered to and promoted, will make corporate social responsibility a reality.
Therefore, these guidelines have a global application.
It is not only desirable, but also essential that they are taken into account and promoted, as they are internationally recognised CSR standards to which stakeholders all over the world can refer.
 
Are there any other norms apart from these internationally recognised principles?
Companies / organisations that we analyse may also subscribe to other norms or private initiatives (certificates, labels or guidelines). These may be of a general nature or sector specific, and may constitute – along with other quantitative or qualitative factors – indicators of:
- Visibility
- Content
- Rigorous processes
- Adequacy of resources
- Levels of monitoring
- Quality of reporting
Examples:
Membership of Global Compact ISO 14001 Certification of environmental management system Certification of environmental management system Collaboration with Transparency International (guidance for countering corporate corruption) Collaboration with Amnesty International
Where relevant, these elements contribute to our assessment of management systems, both intrinsically and specifically to each particular sector. |
