The CR Index is an in-depth voluntary benchmark of corporate responsibility which has run for over a decade. Designed to help companies in all industry sectors measure and manage all aspects of their social and environmental performance, the index helps to shape how they integrate and improve corporate responsibility throughout their business operations and benchmark themselves against competitors.
