Abstract
In the XXth century the necessity to know the behaviour of companies in order to invest ethically and responsibly is born. Due to this demand, agencies for the evaluation of Social Corporate Responsibility (SCR) are created and three products have been offered for the last few years: the declarative evaluation, the evaluation in demand and the rates of social responsibility. These three products are analysed in this article and some of their defects are revealed. At present in Europe two large groups of agencies are consolidating: Siri Company and Vigeo Group. This concentration is due to the necessity of promoting transnational information about companies, less and less limited to an only country. Furthermore, with this internationalization research is optimized as more information sources are available. In order to understand how an evaluating agency works and its methodology, the case Vigeo and background is analysed.
