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
Our analysis model has four major components:
- A precise reference model of social responsibility criteria based on internationally recognised CSR standards, considered according to their sector relevance
- A managerial reference model dedicated to the continuous improvement of organisations’ strategic and operational management
- A questionnaire structured to analyse CSR criteria from different perspectives that are formalised and that cover all CSR criteria
- A conventional four-level hierarchical scale of discriminating scores, for both the SRI analysis process, which is based on company documents in the public domain and stakeholders opinions, and the the CSR audit analysis process which is based on company internal documents and management interviews .
