Charles University has been one of the members of the Association of Social Responsibility (A-CSR) since 2023.

A-CSR is the largest sustainability and ESG initiative in the Czech Republic. Together with its members — businesses, social enterprises, the public sector, non-profits, and educational institutions — it works to fulfil the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. Its main vision is to embed the concept of sustainability into daily business and the operations of organizations in the country. A-CSR engages in dialogue with the government to make sustainability one of the core priorities of our society. It creates a platform for like-minded people, where members can meet, share experience and inspiration, and work together.

Since 2017, A-CSR has been awarding the prestigious SDGs Awards, recognition for advancing the UN's global goals in the Czech Republic, which has set a global benchmark. In partnership with the internationally recognized CEMS/Master in International Management programme at the Faculty of Business Administration at the Prague University of Business and Economics, and Forbes Czech Republic, it has been comprehensively evaluating the ESG activities, strategies, and non-financial reporting of companies in the country since 2022, and has created an ESG Rating System.
