ESOMAR is the essential organisation for encouraging, advancing and elevating market, social and opinion research worldwide.
Founded in 1948, ESOMAR gathers together nearly 5000 individual and corporate members worldwide, on both the provider and client side, as well as in public bodies and academic institutions. With members in 100 countries of whom 50% are located in Europe, ESOMAR promotes the value of market and opinion research in illuminating real issues and bringing about effective decision-making on a global level.
To facilitate this ongoing dialogue, ESOMAR creates and manages a comprehensive programme of industry-specific and thematic conferences, publications and communications.
ESOMAR’s mission is to promote the highest standards in market research for improving decision making in the public and private sectors.
The objectives of ESOMAR are internationally:
to promote the development and use of marketing, social and opinion research, as an important basis for effective management decisions in both public and private sectors alike,
to encourage the highest technical standards and levels of professional conduct among its Members and
to establish a code or codes of ethical practice and professional standards.
ESOMAR actively advocates self-regulation and promotes the worldwide code of practice.
Members agree to abide by the ICC/ESOMAR International Code on Market and Social Research, which has been jointly drafted by ESOMAR and the International Chamber of Commerce. The code has been adopted or endorsed by the major national professional bodies around the world.
Members of ESOMAR are subject to ESOMAR's disciplinary procedures. The Code has been revised to strengthen consumer protection and confidence and is applicable worldwide. It takes into account recent developments in technology and privacy issues in conducting market, opinion and social research.
ESOMAR’s Professional Standards Committee has also drafted the following guidelines which are updated on a regular basis and are available at http://www.esomar.org/index.php/professional-standards.html
