In the field of CSR, the concept of business, or corporate, citizenship has rapidly gained popularity in the corporate, academic, and political arenas. Global corporate citizenship has emerged as the preeminent term that companies use to describe their responsible roles within society. Of the top 100 U.S. companies, 97% claim to engage in corporate citizenship activities. Major companies such as Boeing, Dow, IBM, and Microsoft claim that they are corporate citizens. Despite the popularity of business citizenship to describe social responsibility, to date there is no published and publicly available instrument to measure the level of global business citizenship for a given company. For my doctoral dissertation, I am currently developing an instrument to measure the four constructs of the theory of Global Business Citizenship and, ultimately, develop a composite index.
Feel free to contact me if you need references about other CSR measurement instruments.

It is difficult to measure CSR which is such a broad practice. For example there is the Global Reporting Initiative that focuses on sustainability. However there are standards out there from which to benchmark CSR "performance" like ISO 26000. I've provided a few below. Best of luck!
