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
