Membership of the Corporate Social Responsibility Association of Australia enables you to succeed and to better align with the values of your consumers, investors and staff.

Membership confirms an ethical footprint, and the CSR rating adds depth to your brand marketing. The awarded rating, ranging from 1 star to 5 stars, as determined by survey results, provides transparency and is a form of approval.

The rating assesses key business parameters and combines academic performance with cumulative business operational interpretation to give a numerical figure that instantly reflects the level of ethics. The system is in high demand worldwide and recognised as a field leader.

It assesses the key parameters and was the first and remains the only system to apply a numerical rating to ethical performance. Having been operational for over 10 years, it offers credibility gained by balancing traditional features with modern necessities to yield ethical measurement and indication. The awarded scores reflect the importance of each issue, which are appropriately weighted as some aspects are more important and impactful than others. Incorporating ethical news conveys further accuracy and relevance.

Disclosure maintains and develops trust. CSRAA membership and the survey results provide a yardstick that complements other key benefits associated with your company and the use of your product and or service. Trends confirm the increased significance and importance of ethics. More customers will not entertain ownership of a product or service without understanding the operational approach. This is true for staff who also need to understand your ethical stance, as well as for investors.

The CSR rating encompasses numerous aspects of a business, such as the ratio of men to women within its management structure, their racial diversity, and its environmental footprint. It is essential to appreciate that the size of the original 460 plus survey questions has been condensed into 40-odd key indicators, balancing time with issue importance.

Membership and the rating survey award facilitate better marketing, provide more sales and higher staff satisfaction. Survey sponsorship conveys an even closer relationship with ethics and confirms you as a market leader within your industry. Sponsorship includes membership and aligns you with a survey area.
