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.
We have defined a conventional rule to calculate the relative weight of these criteria, with three levels of consideration:
- Consideration 1: This is based on CSR criteria of a sensitive nature for the company.
- Consideration 2: This is based on CSR criteria of a fundamental nature for the company
- Consideration 3: This is based on CSR criteria of a vital nature for the company.
The consideration for each criterion is the product of three factors:
- Factor F1: This reflects the nature of the interest of the stakeholder(s) affected by the criterion
- Factor F2: This reflects the level of exposure of the stakeholder(s) affected by the criterion
- Factor F3: This reflects the cumulative number of risk categories affected by the criterion
Example of consideration for the criterion “Improvement of health and safety in the chemical industry sector”:
- Factor F1 - Nature of the impact:
Employees may be exposed to substances (i.e. benzene) that may induce serious occupational illnesses and give rise to serious (or even fatal) accidents. A maximum value of 3 is assigned.
- Factor F2 – Exposure of stakeholders:
Health and safety issues are not only limited to a small number of employees. On the contrary, the impacts outlined above are directly linked to the sector’s core business, with manual workers making up a significant proportion of the workforce. A maximum value of 3 is assigned.
- Factor F3 – Risk of repercussions for the company:
- Legal risks are covered, in particular large sums paid out to compensate for damages caused to employees affected by work-related illnesses.
- The company’s reputation may be affected, giving rise to a number of difficulties.
- For example, it might become harder for the company to obtain the licenses it needs to be able to operate.
- The cohesion and motivation of employees may also be affected.
Four risk categories are identified, corresponding to a value of 2 for this factor.
In total, taking into consideration the values decided upon for the three factors, a maximum consideration of 3 is assigned to the criterion. |
