Need a Reality Check?
Your organisation may be committed to CSR at the highest level and have sound policies in place, but are your business units and major facilities around the world really buying into your vision and delivering the performance you require?
We can help you find out through our Reality Check, our framework for internal benchmarking of CSR performance.
First developed by csrnetwork for Balfour Beatty, the Reality Check paints a detailed picture of the management of non-financial issues across operations and business units. It's of great benefit to global businesses that aspire to consistent standards of CSR.
How it works
Through visits to operating units and interviews with local management, we evaluate CSR management against criteria that reflect the material issues for the organisation and its industry. We then produce a report that benchmarks operating units against each other, and make recommendations for company-wide and local improvement, often drawn from examples of best practice uncovered during our work. In this way, operating units can learn from one another.
As well as allowing us to glean the information we need to make our assessment, our visits can help in establishing a network of local CSR champions and provide valuable insight into the views of local management and other stakeholders.
We have recently developed and applied an enhanced version of the Reality Check for ArcelorMittal.
Case Study
For the fourth year running, BP has commissioned csrnetwork - in partnership with AccountAbility - to benchmark its corporate responsibility report.
