Corporate Social Responsibility? Provide insight into your involvement

CSR Performance Ladder

About the CSR Performance Ladder certificate

Your social commitment motivates you to conduct sustainable business, with respect for people and the environment. The CSR Performance Ladder offers an insight into exactly what you’re doing in this area, and what contribution your organization makes to a better world. DEKRA can arrange this certification for you.

MVO Performance Ladder and ISO 26000

The ISO 26000 standard is an international guideline for sustainability, just as AA 1000 is for stakeholder management and GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) for indicators and reporting. The CSR Performance Ladder is based on the principles from these guidelines, and stipulates requirements for them, making sustainability measurable. An audit lets you demonstrate that your organization operates in a socially-responsible manner. The CSR Performance Ladder is also easy to integrate into existing management systems, including the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management systems.
