A new CSR label, Responsibility Europe, offers international recognition to labels issued at national level. This is the case of the ESR label issued by the INDR, the initiator of the initiative in Luxembourg, with Afnor in France and Ecoparc in Switzerland.

In the jungle of CSR labels, a new one has just been created: Responsibility Europe. But this one allows companies or organisations that have obtained a label for corporate social responsibility in their respective countries to benefit from a single label, grouping them together and recognisable at international level.

Created on the initiative of the Afnor group in France, Ecoparc in Switzerland and INDR in Luxembourg, it represents a guarantee of legibility and credibility, says the in a press release published on 18 June: "It guarantees that the labelled company or organisation has been evaluated according to a transparent methodology and subjected to on-site quality control by a third party.

To benefit from it, a company must have obtained a label from the three bodies that initiated the process - in Luxembourg this is the ESR label issued by the INDR. And other labels should join the initiative: "We are starting discussions so that other players can join us," says Alain Jounot, President of Responsibility Europe. "We want to create a European movement. We invite organisations that have developed a label to assess the social and environmental impact of organisations to join us in order to combine our expertise and firmly establish a European vision of CSR labelling," he explains.
