What csrworks does

CSRWorks International is a privately held sustainability advisory founded in 2005 and headquartered in Singapore. It serves corporate entities and sustainability professionals with human-led consulting, assurance and verification, professional training, and thought-leadership programs. Its consulting portfolio covers sustainability and integrated reporting, materiality and double materiality, stakeholder engagement, sustainability strategy, Scope 1-3 greenhouse-gas accounting and verification, Science-Based Targets, water risk, transition planning, EcoVadis, DJSI, CDP, GRESB, FTSE4Good, green finance, supply-chain sustainability, and internal review of sustainability reporting.

CSRWorks is not a software platform: it discloses no public API, integrations, or AI capabilities. Its technical foundation is a domain-specialist advisory methodology combining GRI Standards, ISSB/IFRS S1 and S2, ESRS, TCFD, TNFD, AA1000, the GHG Protocol, and Science-Based Targets, with structured methods for report development, materiality, EcoVadis score improvement, and AA1000AS assurance. The company reports having produced more than 150 sustainability reports and supported more than 500 EcoVadis assessments, with approximately 60% of the latter achieving Platinum or Gold medals.

Revenue is generated through modular advisory engagements, independent assurance and verification, public virtual courses, customized in-house training, and sustainability events and awards. Training is sold on a pay-as-you-go basis with early-bird, group, and non-profit, academic, or student discounts, while consulting packages are tailored to selected services. CSRWorks reaches enterprise buyers through direct sales, training networks, webinars, publications, and its ASRA, AIRA, Sustainability Reporting Summit, and Superwomen platforms. It reports clients and training participants across more than 20 countries, principally across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.
