ESOMAR is the global voice of the research, analytics and insights community, speaking on behalf of over 10.000 individual professionals and 750 companies who provide or commission research, analytics and insights in more than 130 countries, all of whom agree to uphold the ICC/ESOMAR International Code on Market, Opinion and Social Research and Data Analytics.
