CSR and ESG

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an approach by which companies integrate social, environmental and economic concerns into their activities and interactions with their stakeholders. It aims to promote sustainable development by reconciling economic performance, reduced environmental impact and social commitment. CSR allows companies to strengthen their image, improve their relationships with their partners and innovate while contributing positively to society.

ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) is a set of criteria used to evaluate responsible business practices. Environmental criteria examine ecological impact and sustainability efforts, social criteria focus on relationships with employees, customers and communities, and governance criteria analyze corporate management and ethical behavior. ESG helps investors identify companies that perform well in these areas, thereby promoting responsible and sustainable investments.

We help you integrate sustainable practices, improve your reputation and create long-term value for all your stakeholders.

FAQ: CSR and ESG

What is the link between ESG and CSR?

K
L

The link between ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is close, as both concepts concern responsible and sustainable business practices, although they are used in slightly different contexts.

  • CSR : Historically, the concept of CSR was developed in the context of business management and is often associated with voluntary initiatives by companies to contribute positively to society.

  • ESG : The term ESG is more recent and is mainly used in the context of investments and sustainable finance. ESG criteria are used by investors to assess the non-financial performance of companies and their associated risks.

Thus, CSR focuses on concrete actions and initiatives to improve societal and environmental impact, while ESG focuses on measuring and evaluating company performance.

Both concepts are based on the idea of the triple bottom line, i.e. the balance between economic, social and environmental performance.

How do we move from Ecovadis to the CSRV Directive?

K
L

To understand how to move from an Ecovadis assessment to compliance with the CSRV Directive (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), it is useful to compare the two and determine the steps needed to meet the requirements of the directive.

Ecovadis :

  • Evaluation of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) performance based on a questionnaire.
  • Analysis of practices in four areas: Environment, Social, Ethics and Responsible Purchasing.
  • Scores given on a scale of 0 to 100, with detailed feedback.

CSRV Directive :

  • Obligation for certain companies to publish information on sustainability in their management report.
  • Includes information on environmental impact, social and governance aspects, and sustainability risks.
  • Applies to large companies, including publicly traded companies, credit institutions and insurance companies.

Moving from an Ecovadis assessment to compliance with the CSRV Directive therefore involves a thorough understanding of the requirements of each framework, rigorous data collection and verification, and the implementation of robust practices and reporting. By adopting a systematic approach and engaging key stakeholders, a company can successfully make this transition and improve its sustainability performance.
