Around the world, organizations of all kinds have successfully implemented the Community Scorecard (CSC) methodology. Given the versatility and flexibility of the CSC process, companies can adapt it to a variety of circumstances and use it in multiple ways. IFC’s own experiences with infrastructure and natural resources companies demonstrated that CSC is a valuable methodology.
It can help:

  • Involve diverse stakeholders—women, youth, community leaders, local governments— in decision making on how to enhance community investment plans and programs.
  • Engage employees on ways to enhance the workplace environment.
  • Keep stakeholders informed about company plans, commitments, and performance.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of the company’s community investments and overall ESG performance.

Community scorecards are a win-win for natural resource companies and local communities

And it helps bring diverse community voices to the table to ensure that various perspectives are heard.
