Our Vision
The private sector has phenomenal power to create change in the world, for good or for ill. In today's marketplace, however, companies are often not rewarded or punished for their social impact. And consumers are not exercising their market power on social issues. Consumers have demonstrated a growing interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR), but they need reliable information and tools to make responsible marketplace decisions.
We have a vision where consumers will think about CSR as naturally as they think about product price and quality today. The hidden costs behind products will be uncovered and social performance will be fully integrated into business strategy. Companies will compete on every issue in our database, including global warming, sweatshops and job parity for women and minorities. The opportunity is unprecedented - and the potential is unlimited.
Our Mission
To promote socially responsible choices in the marketplace by providing an online platform to share reliable information about the social and environmental performance of companies.
