Current and future issues
CURRENT FUTURE
Financial Community
• Weak transparency in rating methodologies
• Unicity in terms of sources of info
• Rating methodologies not adapted to business specificities or cultural differences
• Clear and simple rating methodologies
• Multiple sources of info (multi stakeholders approach)
• Custom fit rating methodologies to take into account companies’ specificities, geographical locations and issues
Companies• Lack of sectorial benchmark capabilities
• Difficulties to build a constructive dialogue with strategic stakeholders
• Rating updates between 12 to 18 months are not sufficient
• OpenSRI is the 1st CSR / SRI Worldwide Web Platform for companies’ benchmark
• … and stakeholders’ engagement
• Real-time updates based on stakeholders feedbacks
Other Stakeholders
• Lack of transparency with the current CSR rating methodologies
• Lack of involvement to give their perceptions on companies’ CSR performance
• Seek more collaborative space for exchanges (social networks developments…)
• Evolving methodologies which take into account stakeholders’ feedback.
• Companies can be rated based on a very simple and clear stakeholder rating questionnaire
• OpenSRI is a collaborative space where one can give feedbacks and has a right to answer
