Our data comes from eight socially responsible investing firms, well-known indexes, publications, best of or worst of lists, NGOs, crowd sources and government agencies. By aggregating and normalizing the information from these sources, CSRHub has created a broad, consistent rating system and a searchable database that links each rating point back to its source.
