Corporate social responsibility criteria are divided into six fields:
  1. Human rights
  2. Human resources
  3. Environment
  4. Business behaviour
  5. Corporate governance
  6. Community involvement

Each of these fields is analysed using a number of criteria, which in turn are subdivided into action steps.

Before each sector related study, the generic reference model is adjusted in order to take into account the characteristics and risks related to the sector under review.
