Toolbox Tuesdays and Thursdays
On the 4th of December 2008 CSR Europe launched
20 CSR Tools which were the compilation of 18
months of work by CSR Europe, its Members and
Partners and the European Alliance for CSR. CSR
Europe has now launched Toolbox Tuesdays and
Thursdays as a new service to its Members and
National Partner Organizations. The purpose of
these conference calls is to give CSR Europe
Members and NPOs a light informal training on
the individual CSR Tools launched as part of CSR
Europe's Toolbox in December 2008.

Sectoral CSR Reporting
There are about 100 different (CSR) standards
that can be distinguished based on their
geographical, sectoral, and workforce coverage
The GRI reports that over 75 of people who read
a companys sustainability report perceive the
company more positively after reading.
The tracking, comparison, and potential learning
from CSR reports is largely hindered by a lack of
standardized reporting, also at a sectoral
level. The Laboratory has addressed this issue by
gathering data on the Spanish banking sectors
current reporting practices and exploring
possibilities to streamline reporting.
