About the Service
TÜV Rheinland STAR is based on the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility and brings a new perspective and solution to the evaluation of corporate sustainability and social performance.
Where did the idea originate?
Drawing inspiration from new market requirements resulting from increased globalization and social awareness, TÜV Rheinland STAR is based on our experience and services in combination with international guidelines and standards including:
- The UN Global Compact
- ILO Conventions
- OECD - Guidelines
- Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) - Principles
- SA 8000 and other management systems
as well as other product certification standards. International and national association initiatives such as EICC or JEITA have also been taken into consideration.
How does it work?
The service utilizes an exclusive 9+1 Dimension rating process in analyzing an organization’s performance, summarizing the results into an overall classification within a 5-star rating system. The resulting rating is posted on our TÜV Rheinland STAR platform which is accessible to the public or limited to registered users only – depending on the decision of the evaluated organization.
The evaluation and rating is based on an onsite visit during which we check and assess the organization first-hand. With the TÜV Rheinland Group being represented in 360 locations in over 60 countries, we are certain to have an office nearby, ensuring a cost-efficient service.
This comprehensive service produces multiple benefits for a wide variety of stakeholders.
