The Observatoire sur la responsabilité sociétale des entreprises (ORSE - Study Center for Corporate Social Responsibility) is a network bringing together over 100 members to study and promote Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). ORSE is a non-profit organization created in June 2000.
The association’s success is based on the sharing of experience and heavy involvement of representatives of its members in ORSE activities. Its members include major corporations, management companies and investors, professional bodies and organizations representing employees and employers, and non-governmental organizations.
ORSE’s mission is to:

• Collect, analyze and publish information on CSR and SRI, and
• Distribute information to its members through every possible means.
ORSE’s work includes:
• Holding a permanent forum of exchange between CSR and SRI stakeholders,
• Offering working tools to its members,
• Identifying best practices, and
• Facilitating partnerships between stakeholders and networks in France, Europe and around the world.
