What is in it for you? “Our goal in writing this report has been to be as accurate, complete and honest as we can be about how Nike performs. Just producing this report proved to us that the value of reporting goes far beyond transparency. It becomes a tool for improving both our management of business and in giving us clues about what we need to do next.” Phil Knight, Chairman and CEO, Nike Inc. 2004 Sustainability Report

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
16
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:
17
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
18
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.
