When you joined our site, you agreed to our terms of use. Please take another look at them, if you need guidance on this subject. They are at http://csrhub.dev.jentek.net/legal. Many users ask us if they should use our data for making investment decisions. We do not recommend this. Our data covers only the social performance of companies. A good investment decision should be based also on the past and expected future financial performance of a company. There are also considerations of risk and diversification involved in an investment decision, that are not covered by our data.

When you make one of the four categories of environment, employees, community and governance more important, you increase the effect that category’s scores on the overall scores you see. The base category scores remain the same—but your personal overall score for each company increases or decreases. Setting special issues will also affect your scores.
