A CSR Maturity Booster

By S. FERRIS

Supporting an SME or mid-sized company through their CSR transition is like launching a construction site without a foundation—unless you have a structuring tool. Most of my clients have the will, but lack a shared foundation to understand, assess, and prioritize.

A foundation tool for CSR work



Setting the scene for all the CSR initiative stakeholders

Baulders plays that foundational role. It’s a simple, straightforward tool—almost basic at first glance… and that’s exactly its strength. It works like an introductory masterclass before moving on to the "advanced studies" of CSR strategy. It establishes a common language and culture, and sets the stage. It also offers a concrete visualization of project progress and areas for improvement across project phases.

Alignment

In the past, I had to spend a significant amount of time simplifying concepts like material issues, risks, impact and opportunity, circular economy, energy transition, or governance. Today, Baulders does part of that work for me. It brings teams to a level of awareness and understanding without my needing to multiply resources or decode complex jargon.

Team confidence

Above all, it builds confidence. The interface is intuitive, the insights are clear, and the project’s “Health Score” helps them see where they stand. It’s e-learning, it’s actionable, and it’s engaging. Some clients have even asked for interactive, gamified materials or scenario-based learning… With Baulders, we’re getting there. It’s a tool that makes people want to get involved.

As a consultant, it’s an indispensable digital tool—a time-saver, an engagement accelerator, a visual progress tracker, and an elegant way to align teams around a common goal: doing better, with confidence, in order to meet the targets and objectives set by the company’s CSR/ESG policies and governance strategy.
