Competency Framework
The skills and behaviours required of CRS professionals
It forms the foundation of our membership application and assessment process, as well as our approach to CPD.
The Framework has two elements:
- Guiding Principles
- Core Competences
The elements are all inter-related and together are more than the sum of their parts.

About the ICRS Competency Framework
The ICRS Competency Framework was developed through a process of consultation with CR and sustainability professionals of all kinds, including in-house practitioners, consultants and academics. The starting point for it was Business in the Community's CR Practitioner Competency Map and we are very grateful to BITC for use of this tool.
We want it to assist practitioners to be successful and to be a springboard for creativity and ambition: supporting people to have the impact and influence needed to embed sustainability into an organisation's core strategy.
