About the CR Index
The CR Index is the first ESG Index in Greece that, since 2008, evaluates the performance of companies with regard to society, the environment, employees, corporate governance and the market, based on 100 international criteria, which today are prerequisites for the most important ESG indicators and standards.
The CR Index provides companies with a useful strategic tool, which presents the strong points as well as points that can be improved, providing analytical data and comparison by sector and contributes to the improvement of ESG Ratings, which are of particular importance for the credibility of companies to investors- banks and other financial institutions.
