✽ OUR PROGRAMMES

What we do

The Esomar Foundation is the charitable arm of Esomar — the global association for the data, research and insights industry.

Our mission is simple: to turn the expertise of the insight community into a force for good. We create impact through two initiatives.

OneDay

Connecting charities and non-profits with insights professionals who volunteer their expertise, one day at a time.
