AI CSRR: the Association for Independent CSR Research is established

1 October, 2004

The launch of the 'Association for Independent Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility Research' (AI CSRR) followed years of preparatory work and efforts to achieve self-regulation in the sector for CSR research. The association was officially established early August 2004.

The objectives of this sector association are to develop, promote and maintain high professional standards, expertise and codes of conduct for the CSR research sector. One of the duties of the association will be to further develop and manage the Voluntary Quality Standard for SRI research (www.csrr-qs.org) and to introduce the verification and certification systems for CSRR research organisations.

Ethibel was one of the founding members of this trade association, along with 15 other research organisations. Herwig Peeters has been elected as president, and for the coming year he will work part time for the Association, in addition to his duties within Ethibel.

For a complete list of the members of the AI CSRR or for further information, please contact Herwig Peeters.
