What is the benefit of measuring the impact of corporate social responsibility?

How does the Metrio solution work?
To be usable by everyone, the solution is simple, designed in SaaS and quickly deployable, because we are sure that to use it, the suite must be intuitive; And Metrio also integrates with all computer systems.

Metrio then generates reports that include the benchmarks of the major rating agencies, as well as the various reference and regulatory frameworks, which can be communicated. The collaborative aspect is important, CSR means transparency. This solution has security certificates and adapts to data protection legislation, such as the RGPD in Europe. Results in terms of corporate social responsibility are important to the corporate image, with the aim of the business owner’s brand as well as towards partners and investors. Reports can be

Nasdaq offers tools to help corporate governance, it makes sense to address CSR issues. Nasdaq has already offered tools, such as OneReport, but the acquisition of Metrio allows the company to move forward on this topic, supporting companies, because we can only act effectively on what we can measure.
