Corporate Responsibility (CR) is a term for business activities addressing goals that are not purely commercial. Almost all food and grocery companies incorporate a CR dimension.

Businesses that recognise the need to integrate CR into their core business will be best placed to succeed in the current economic climate, and in the future. Research has shown that companies consistently participating in the CR Index outperform the FTSE 350 on total shareholder return. To find out more and understand what industry is doing have a look at our factsheets, articles, case studies and industry CSR reports.

You can also see a sample of publicly available documents on CR that are of relevance to the food and grocery supply chain with our new report library.
