CSRR organisations from across Europe have come together to form the Association of Independent Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility Research (AI CSRR).

The corporate sustainable and responsible research sector continues to expand due to increasing popular interest throughout Europe. At the same time pressure on CSRR Groups to raise quality and be transparent and professional has grown. AI CSRR, therefore, has been created to develop and promote high professional standards for organisations in the field.

In the fast changing world of CSRR co-operation on a sector level and engagement with companies and asset managers is essential. AI CSRR will develop better tools and understanding and improve the social impact of SRI.

Transparency, openness and accountability have always been central to the CSR agenda.
The formation of AI CSRR continued this tradition. AI CSRR will provide the independent verification needs the sector requires in order to maintain and enhance its quality and credibility through the management of a Voluntary Quality Standard scheme.

AI CSRR owns and manages CSRR-QS 2.0, its related instruments and processes and is responsible for organising independent, external verification.
