Corporate Responsibility Index (CR Index)

The Corporate Responsibility Index devised by Business in the Community and run in conjunction with the Sunday Times, is a Government recognised process for measuring your organisation’s Corporate Responsibility performance.

The Index, published annually in the ‘Companies that Count’ supplement in the Sunday Times, analyses performance in the areas of Strategy, Integration, Management Practice, and Assurance.

Perhaps more importantly it provides a risk/opportunity overview for an organisation showing the business benefits of increasingly responsible business practice. This covers a range of issues including risk management, brand values, supply chain management, employee and customer satisfaction.

Unlike FTSE for Good or the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, which are both investment based indices, the CR Index is a business management tool. All of the companies that Collins McHugh have facilitated the CR Index for have found the process to have brought positive impact to their organisations, often finding that engaging on the Corporate Responsibility Agenda has provided them with a competitive edge with their customer base.
