Use our methodologies

Our social methodologies are free for governments, academic and other organisations to use to obtain a snapshot of how companies in their region are performing on various social responsibilities – such as respecting human rights, promoting gender equality, and providing decent work. Stakeholders can then use these assessments to push for and influence policy and legislation.

We welcome stakeholders – especially those based in the Global South – to use our methodologies to hold companies accountable to their role in building a fairer and more inclusive world.
