Presentation of ORSE’s work since its creation (2000-2006)

Since it was founded in June 2000, ORSE applied itself to:

• Making CSR tools that will impact the operations of companies and of their stakeholders (investors, employees) more comprehensible. ORSE’s work focused on the following tools:
  . Rating of companies (assessment of rating agencies and of analysis methodologies)
  . Reporting (NRE evaluation, GRI follow up, study on international social reporting)
  . Codes of conduct (exchange between members)
  . Certification of reports (confrontation of points of view)
  . Standardization (participation to AFNOR and ISO working groups)
• Identifying the various stakes of CSR by relying on the stakeholders constellation:
  . Investors (companies performance and governance)
  . Employees (gender equality, trade unions implication and social indicators)
  . Suppliers (procurement policy and relations with SMEs)
  . Civil society (strategic partnerships NGO/Enterprises, AIDS, Human Rights)
• Allowing ORSE’s members to be more present on the international scene through a better knowledge of CSR regulation bodies:
  . UN’s Global Compact, ILO, OECD
  . ISO on standardization
  . GRI on reporting
  . European commission’s green book and multistakeholder’s forum.
