Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports are a communication tool through which companies disclose their CSR strategies, goals, and the impacts of their operations across economic, social, and environmental dimensions to stakeholders on a regular basis. This database systematically collects and organizes CSR reports published by companies worldwide. Each record includes detailed report metadata such as the company name, stock ticker, industry, report year, and type, along with the original report in PDF format, ensuring the completeness and authenticity of the data source. Together, this information provides a valuable resource for researching corporate non-financial performance and sustainability capabilities.
Data Features:
- Original Reports and Structured Data: Unlike data products that only offer summaries or ratings, this database provides both downloadable original CSR report PDFs and key structured data fields. This enables users to perform macro-level quantitative analysis as well as delve into the report content for detailed research such as content analysis and disclosure quality assessment.
- Comprehensive Coverage with Historical Depth: The database includes CSR reports spanning multiple years, industries, and regions, creating a longitudinal dataset with global coverage. This makes it ideal for trend analysis and comparative studies.
- Multi-dimensional Classification and Precise Filtering: Data can be cross-filtered and analyzed across multiple dimensions, including industry, country/region, stock exchange, and company size. This allows users to quickly locate target samples and perform accurate industry benchmarking or regional studies.
Data Application Value：
- Academic Research: Provides valuable long-term panel data for research in fields such as management, finance, and economics, focused on the economic consequences, driving factors, and evolution of corporate ESG performance and disclosure behaviors.
- Investment Decision-Making: Investment firms can use report scores, industry affiliation, and other fields to construct sustainable investment portfolios, integrate ESG factors, identify risks, and support responsible investment decisions.
- Corporate Benchmarking and Consulting: Corporations and consulting agencies can use this database to understand the ESG practices and disclosure standards of peers and industry partners, helping in the preparation of their own reports, the formulation of sustainability strategies, or conducting market research.
The Global CSR Reports Database, with its unique structure of "structured data + original reports," extensive global coverage, and in-depth historical data, provides a high-quality, one-stop research foundation for academia and industry to explore corporate sustainability topics.
