What do I need to do to fulfill the COP requirement? 1. Create an annual Communication on Progress 2. Share the COP with the company’s stakeholders 3. Submit the COP to the Global Compact website

Step 1) Creating an annual Communication on Progress  While there is no single structure for a COP, a COP must include:  Element 1: A statement of continuing support  Element 2: Description of practical actions: related commitments, systems and activities.  Element 3: Measurement of outcomes:

Step 2 ) Sharing the COP with the company’s stakeholders A COP is not a communication with the United Nations Global Compact Office. Ideally, COPs should be integrated into a company’s existing communication with stakeholders, such as an annual financial or sustainability report…websites, direct mailings, employee alerts, open houses

Step 3) Submitting the COP to the Global Compact website  In addition to sharing the COP with stakeholders, companies are expected to post an electronic version (and web link if available) of their COP on the Global Compact website.
