Companies also commit to issue an annual Communication on Progress (COP)  A COP is a public disclosure to stakeholders (e.g., investors, consumers, civil society, governments, etc.) on progress made in implementing the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, and in supporting broader UN development goals  The COP is frequently the most visible expression of a participant's commitment to the Global Compact and its principles  Violations of the COP policy (e.g., failure to issue a COP) will change a participant’s status to non- communicating and can eventually lead to the expulsion of the participant  All business participants are required to post their COP on the Global Compact website and to share it widely with their stakeholders

The overall COP format is flexible, but there are some requirements  The COP must contain the following three elements: ―A statement by the chief executive expressing continued support for the Global Compact and renewing the participant's ongoing commitment to the initiative and its principles ―A description of practical actions (i.e., disclosure of any relevant policies, procedures, activities) that the company has taken (or plans to undertake) to implement the Global Compact principles in each of the four issue areas (human rights, labour, environment, anti-corruption) ―A measurement of outcomes (i.e., the degree to which targets/performance indicators were met, or other qualitative or quantitative measurements of results)  Business participants’ COPs are classified in one of three categories, based on a self-assessment of the COP’s content; GC Learner, GC Active or GC Advanced COP  The Global Compact promotes a number of resources that provide insight and guidance for companies to meet the COP requirement  Sustainability Reporting Guidelines from Global Reporting Initiative is one of the resources promoted by Global Compact for participants to use as basis for their COP
