Abstract

Corporate responsibility (CR) tools have an excellent potential to facilitate the implementation of responsible research and innovation (RRI) in industry. This chapter provides a detailed account of existing CR tools. It develops selection criteria for choosing the tools with the greatest potential to assist the implementation of RRI in industry. Background information on these tools is given, as well as data on the tools’ requirements. In addition, assessment criteria are developed to illustrate the tools’ suitability in setting up a framework for action that could form a basis for RRI implementation.
