Cross Atlantic Big Data CSR Partnership
As previously seen on the CSRHub blog
CSRHub is pleased to announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Centre for Citizenship, Enterprise and Governance (CCEG), based in UK, to develop their mutual interests in using Big Data in social impact measurement. CSRHub has aggregated the world’s largest database of corporate sustainability information. CCEG is driving an international programme around their Social Earnings Ratio (S/E) to capture empirical CSR data through a wiki-university approach as well as automation through cloud computing.
Initial joint programs will center around a burgeoning social innovation marketplace that has been created through legislative drivers in Europe and Asia, and an inter-university program in the USA that will measure the social impact in a multitude of niche sectors represented through ‘top 100’ ranking league tables. If you are interested in furthering the use of Big Data to change organizational behaviour, or have sectors you want measured free of charge, please contact CSRHub.
CSRHub provides access to corporate social responsibility and sustainability ratings and information on 8,900+ companies from 135 industries in 102 countries. By aggregating and normalizing the information from 300+ data sources, CSRHub has created a broad, consistent rating system and a searchable database that links millions of rating elements back to their source. Managers, researchers and activists use CSRHub to benchmark company performance, learn how stakeholders evaluate company CSR practices and seek ways to change the world.
