Modelled case study

Preparing for the evaluation of the CSR Label from CGEM

In a context where corporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming a major issue, service companies must effectively prepare for the assessment of their CSR approach. This model case study presents the key steps to support a company in this preparation, identifying the stakes, necessary diagnostics, and action plans to implement. The objective is to ensure compliance with the requirements of the CSR label while strengthening the company's societal commitment.

Method warning

A typical case, not a client

This study does not describe any real clients and does not report any results obtained from a client: our confidentiality commitments prohibit this. It sets out explicit working hypotheses and then deduces orders of magnitude through a calculation that you can replicate line by line. Change a hypothesis, and the result changes. During a diagnosis, these hypotheses are replaced by your actual figures.

The starting point

The modelled situation

The service company, operating in a competitive sector, wishes to obtain a CSR label to enhance its commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility. However, it faces several challenges. Firstly, it must raise awareness among its teams about CSR issues, often perceived as distant from daily concerns. Secondly, it is essential to identify the company's current practices and align them with the label's criteria. Collecting and analysing data related to social and environmental impacts is also necessary to establish an accurate diagnosis. Finally, the company must develop a concrete action plan to meet the label's requirements while integrating CSR into its overall strategy.

Initial hypothesis	Value	Unit
Company headcount	120	people
Areas of the framework to cover	9	axes
Stakeholders to consult	12	categories
Proof documents to be gathered per area	6	documents

The calculation

Result, line by line

The calculation table presents the various steps and actions to be implemented to prepare the company for the CSR label assessment. Each action is associated with performance indicators that will allow measuring the progress of the process. It is important to note that this table does not provide precise figures, but rather an overview of the necessary actions. The results of the indicators should be analysed in conjunction with the actions taken to adjust the company's CSR strategy.

Calculated magnitude	Formula	Result	Unit
Total proof documents to be gathered	9 areas × 6 documents	54	documents
Consultation interviews to be conducted	12 categories × 2 interviews	24	interviews
Employees to raise awareness	120 people	120	people
Progress reviews over twelve months	1 per quarter × 4	4	reviews

The diagnosis

What we measure first

Team awareness

Teams are not sufficiently informed about CSR issues, which limits their involvement in the process.

Evaluation of current practices

There is a lack of clarity regarding the practices in place and their compliance with the CSR label criteria.

Data collection

Data related to social and environmental impacts are not systematically collected, making it difficult to assess performance.

Strategic Planning

CSR is not integrated into the company's overall strategy, which undermines the coherence of the actions taken.

The work plan

How the mission unfolds

Awareness workshops

Organise training sessions to raise awareness among teams about CSR issues and involve them in the process.

Internal audit

Conduct an audit of current practices to identify strengths and areas for improvement against the label criteria.

Establishment of indicators

Develop performance indicators to collect and analyse data related to social and environmental impacts.

Integration into strategy

Develop a strategic plan integrating CSR to ensure coherence of actions and objectives.

Monitoring and evaluation

Establish a monitoring system to regularly assess progress made and adjust actions if necessary.

The follow-up

The indicators we implement

These indicators are recorded from the diagnosis and then monitored throughout the mission: they are what make the result demonstrable, rather than declarative.

Document coverage rate by axis of the framework
Participation rate in stakeholder consultations
Number of discrepancies noted in pre-assessment and their closure
Social indicators monitored over time: training, safety, equality
Proportion of purchases covered by a responsible clause

Clarity

What causes this type of project to fail

Lack of team engagement+

Insufficient awareness can lead to low team engagement in the CSR approach.

Inconsistency of practices+

Practices not aligned with the label's criteria can lead to failure during the assessment.

Incomplete data+

Insufficient data collection can hinder the company's ability to assess its CSR performance.

Lack of monitoring+

Without regular monitoring, it is difficult to adjust actions and ensure continuous improvement.
