 Corporate Social Responsibility performance assessment by using a linear combination of key indicatorsInternational Journal of Business Governance and Ethics, 2011, vol. 6, issue 2, 183-202 Abstract: The progressive commitment towards a more sustainable model of current civil/economic societies has come to prominence, both in industrialised and developing countries. This paradigm encounters widespread acceptance encompassing the forms of external communication and the evaluation of specific business performances not just related to merely economic/financial information. As a consequence, several dedicated efforts have been made to communicate such a different awareness. Starting from these premises, the paper proposes a method to calculate the Global Corporate Social Responsibility Rate (GCSRR) of a company based on a linear combination of financial statement figures, environmental data and social values indicators. To present a synthetic comparative evaluation model and without any pretension to be exhaustive, some explanatory calculations are reported as an illustrative application of the method. Keywords: accounting; CSR rate; corporate social responsibility; linear combination; management systems; performance measurement; sustainability management; performance evaluation; key indicators; sustainable development; financial statements; environmental data; social values.
