CSRHub Announces Dashboard Launch for Benchmarking

December 15, 2014 /3BL Media/ - CSRHub is pleased to announce it has launched CSRHub Dashboard, an Excel-based tool that allows our subscribers to easily bring millions of data points from our system into our custom templates and into their own internal systems. Fill in company names, a date and we take care of the rest.

We also made the fifth major update to our site since we first went live in late 2010.  Our data extends back to December of 2008, so with our monthly updates we will soon have seven full years of monthly data available to subscribers. The new features include:

• Subscribers can see ratings and percentile rankings for each of 12 subscategory levels.
• Drill down to see what sources contribute to each rating element.
• Interactive graphs allow benchmarking on the fly. Now, compare one company’s ratings with those of another company or with the average for an industry or country.

As recently announced in GreenBiz, our new Excel-based template, CSRHub Dashboard, allows our subscribers to do competitive benchmarking across 10,000 companies in 135 industries in 104 countries. The Dashboard enables ratings and rankings comparisons, and drill down to compare what each company reported for specific data elements from our 365 data sources. And CSRHub Dashboard enables easy assessment of supply chain management.

With more than 90 different functions available, our subscribers can build their own models and track and understand all types of sustainability ratings and metrics.

In keeping with our support for the broadest possible number of subscribers, we expect to soon introduce a Google Sheets version of the Dashboard.  And, we plan to keep adding more functions (feel free to suggest them!).  All of the new functions we added for our Dashboard users were also put into our RESTful API.  This has made it easier for a wide range of developers to use our data in their applications and tools.

We look forward to your feedback.
