Open SRI

OpenSRI is the first collaborative web platform on Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at www.opensri.com.The project is supported by Intertek Group.

OpenSRI offers a new approach to CSR rating based on the involvement of stakeholders, who will rate the social and environmental performance of companies.

The objective is to create an ‘innovative and interactive tool’ that will foster dialogue on issues between companies and their stakeholders.
OpenSRI’s analysis model is based on four innovative approaches:

  • SRI researches on methodological questions, CSR strategy and integration of financial and extra-financial analysis,
  • Online access to companies' CSR database (identification of new CSR risks and issues, ethical involvement, inclusion in SRI indexes, CSR rating, etc.), allowing aggregation and filtering of information to create customized portfolios, as well as other applications
  • A Stakeholder Rating and Networking platform, encouraging dialogue between companies, financial actors, and stakeholders
  • A sector or company reputation audit
