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 corporate responsibility performance.

First developed for Balfour Beatty and enhanced in work for ArcelorMittal, 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 corporate responsibility.

How it works

Through visits to operating units and interviews with local management, we evaluate CR management against criteria that reflect the material issues for the organisation and its industry. We then produce a report that benchmarks operating units, and makes 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 CR champions and provide valuable insight into the views of local management and other stakeholders.
