Impact Measurement and Performance Analysis of CSR (IMPACT)

Report on cross-WP comparison of CSR performance & impacts according to different types of characteristics

After developing the conceptual and empirical frameworks which build the theoretical basis of the IMPACT project, four empirical methods had been applied for researching CSR and its effects on companies and society at large: econometric analyses of data from different sources (e.g. an own survey of several thousand companies, mainly SMEs; data from existing data bases like Sustainalytics, Asset4, MIP 2005, MIP 2009); nineteen company case studies; five network studies; and a two-rounded Delphi study. An overview of all the data collected and used in IMPACT can be found in Table 1.The report on D6.2 – available individually - did then the next step and triangulate and synthesise empirical results on CSR performance and impacts from all the empirical work packages on three overall EU objectives: Environment; Quality of Jobs; Economics.

This report will now proceed with the next analytical step and research whether several types of variables and characteristics additionally influence the results mentioned in report D6.2.
