Global Compact’s New Management Models helps signatories to align with 10 principles

The Global Compact has launched the UN Global Compact Management Model, which is designed to help participants align their operations and strategies with both the letter and spirit of the Global Compact’s ten universally accepted principles. The Management Model, developed in collaboration with Deloitte, lays out six steps that an organization can follow to start and maintain a path toward social and environmental responsibility.

The six steps are as follow:

Commit: Leadership commitment to mainstream the Global Compact principles into strategies and operations and to take action in support of broader UN goals, in a transparent way.

Assess: Assess risks, opportunities, and impacts across Global Compact issue areas.

Define: Define goals, strategies, and policies.

Implement: Implement strategies and policies through the company and across the company's value chain.

Measure: Measure and monitor impacts and progress toward goals.

Communicate: Communicate progress and strategies and engage with stakeholders for continuous improvement.
