Integrity and social responsibility are key factors in building trust and credibility with internal and external stakeholders. Organizations that uphold high ethical standards and demonstrate responsibility in their actions, earn the respect and loyalty of employees, customers, suppliers, investors, and society at large. Integrity ensures transparency, accountability, and fairness in decision-making, while social responsibility promotes sustainable practices, social impact, and a positive organizational culture.
Organizations that hold integrity and social responsibility in high esteem, grow their reputation, are attractive for top talent, and establish a strong foundation for long-term success.
How do you measure integrity and social responsibility ?
By knowing exactly what is driving integrity and social responsibility in your organization. By knowing precisely where in the organization the biggest improvements can be made. And by acting upon this knowledge: taking required actions in accordance with a specifically designed intervention strategy. This way, you will be able to work evidence-based towards the desired and makable outcome of a sustainably more ethical and socially responsible organization. This is the way of working that The Better Company stands for and has to offer.
We measure 4 outcome metrics for integrity and social responsibility that are scientifically underpinned. At the same time, we measure the drivers of integrity and social responsibility. Drivers are specific leadership and working climate factors that are known for their effect upon desired outcomes. Science has revealed 9 relevant drivers, such as ethical leadership, behavioral integrity and organizational fairness.
- Ethical leadership: Do employees experience an ethical work environment in the behavior of others?
- Power disparity: Do employees experience equal relationships within the organization?
- Meaning-based leadership: Do executives connect the organizationās values to strategy?
- Organizational fairness: Do employees see fair action in behavior of others?
- Psychological safety: Do people feel safe to be who they are in the presence of others?

A high degree of integrity and social responsibility results in, among other things:
