Flagship Framework
The ORANGE CSR Index™
A structured research framework for assessing corporate responsibility across multiple dimensions — giving organizations a clear view of their CSR maturity and where it can improve.
Measuring Corporate Responsibility
One framework. Ten dimensions. A comparable picture.
The ORANGE CSR Index™ is envisioned as a structured research framework for assessing corporate responsibility across multiple dimensions — moving the conversation from anecdote to comparable evidence.
The Index can provide organizations with a structured understanding of their CSR maturity and the specific opportunities available for improvement.

How an Assessment Works
From disclosure to positioning
01
Define the assessment scope
Sector, market and organizational boundary are agreed, along with which dimensions carry the most weight for that industry.
02
Gather disclosure and primary evidence
Annual and sustainability reports are reviewed alongside stakeholder surveys and community data, so scores rest on more than self-reporting.
03
Score against defined indicators
Each dimension is scored using published criteria — no unexplained weightings, no hidden adjustments.
04
Benchmark and report
Results are positioned against sector peers, with a maturity profile showing where the organization leads and where it lags.
Awards and rankings should be supported by clearly defined research methodologies and transparent assessment criteria.
This principle governs the Index, the Benchmark Report™ and every recognition programme Orange develops.
