Our History
Maplecroft was founded in late 2001 to service a need for a strategic approach to CSR. Starting from an academic base with a small number of clients, primarily, but not exclusively in the extractive sector, Maplecroft developed a value proposition built around research, management consulting, training and other forms of organisational development. With a large number of completed projects and a substantial active client list spanning many sectors, Maplecroft has built a reputation as a leader in its field. In addition to consultative engagement, Maplecroft has developed a suite of tools to assist with the monitoring and management of non-financial performance. These are featured throughout this website.
Most recently, Maplecroft has strengthened its expertise in social science research and application to corporate citizenship. It has a strong information technology capacity to deliver technology enabled tools to help large organisations address the ever increasing need to understand, manage and communicate non financial performance.
Examples of these include:
- Maplecroft Maps: - A suite of issue maps focused on the business risk presented by the most important global issues
- Principles-Plus multi-audit eTool: A tool set for quickly building electronic audit workbooks aligned with client specific business principles and widely recognised set of codes and standards
- Ethical Insight: Bi-weekly electronic news digest
