CR Index 2011

Business in the Community is proud to announce that the ninth annual CR Index survey will open on 27 September 2010. The deadline for submissions will be 26 November 2010.

We will be running a series of CR Index workshops over the next few months. More information...

CR Index 2009 - results and analysis


Please note: We would like to make you aware of our decision to call this year’s survey the CR Index 2011, rather than the CR Index 2010, which would have followed on from last year’s survey.  This decision brings the CR Index cycle and ranking in line with the year of publication, rather than the year of survey submission.

What is the CR Index?

Business in the Community's CR Index is the UK’s leading voluntary benchmark of Corporate Responsibility (CR). It helps companies to integrate and improve CR throughout their operations by providing a systematic approach to managing, measuring and reporting on business impacts in society and on the environment.
