Corporate social responsibility
The ESR (Entreprise Socialement Responsable) label is one of the most advanced and comprehensive CSR labels in Europe. It helps to initiate a continuous improvement approach by providing concrete examples and proposing clear action plans. It supports organisations in building a competitive advantage through alignment on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) market trends and good practices, notably in terms of governance and stakeholder management.
As a communication and marketing tool, the label enhances brand visibility and reputation. It also provides public testimony of CSR actions conducted by the company/organisation.
This label is an initiative of the UEL and has been developed by the INDR in close collaboration with Deloitte.
