Who is Eligible to Join?
Companies committed to improving their sustainability practices and impacts are eligible to become BSR members. Eligible companies and organizations can join at any time during the calendar year, and dues are renewed annually based on annual revenue.
We maintain an open membership policy. Our approach is based on a belief that engagement is the best way to improve both the impact of individual companies and the collective impact of the private sector overall. We have established 16 Project Principles to drive action and guide our work with companies, our insights, and our recommendations.
What Does Membership Cost?
Annual membership dues are tiered based on the company's gross annual revenues or the organization’s annual operating budget. To find your tier, please refer to our tiers below:
Eligibility and Dues
Companies committed to improving their sustainability practices and impacts are eligible to become BSR members. Eligible companies and organizations can join at any time during the calendar year, and dues are renewed annually based on annual revenue.
Annual dues are based on total consolidated annual revenue from the most recently completed fiscal year with available, audited financial statements.
Annual Revenues |
Annual Dues |
|---|---|
| Less than US$5 billion | US$20,000 |
| US$5 billion – less than US$10 billion | US$25,000 |

Access to member-exclusive
insights and events
BSR retains the right to review associate member candidacy to ensure that
membership is mutually beneficial
for the entity, BSR, and BSR's member companies.
Membership Payment Options
Your company is welcome to allocate BSR membership costs across multiple departments internally if that works best for your budgeting process.
Although uncommon, if your company uses separate team Purchase Orders (POs), we can accommodate more than one PO. Due to the extra administrative overhead, we recommend splitting payments across multiple POs only for companies with over US$10 billion in annual revenue.
Charitable Contributions and Tax Deductibles
Part of your membership dues is considered a charitable contribution and tax deductible. Billing can provide documentation as proof of charitable contribution, if requested. For more information on this documentation, please reach out to [email protected].
