It is a challenge to manage the complex and constantly evolving area of
corporate accountability and sustainability. There is a plethora of information to manage, much of it confusing, disorganized, uncoordinated and non-standardized.
And yet, companies are expected to report their 'triple-bottom line" and improve their performance year to year.
The Global Citizenship 360 (GC360) provides a simple solution. Information is approached in a disciplined, efficient and structured manner. A powerful software platform is used to enable your company's CSR information to be used over and over to multiply your effectiveness and to embed your CSR efforts throughout the company.
Order is created from chaos. An overall framework is created from which to set the priorities of your CSR program agendas and have an immediate understanding of your risk elements, as well as performance factors.
The Global Citizenship 360 enables companies to:
- Benchmark their performance against 21 standards at once
- Take advantage of a "GRI-Framework Inside" to efficiently progress GRI Reporting
- Organize the Annual Report to meet world class standards
- Identify Areas of Performance, as well as Risk to set priorities and align program agendas
- Issue customized responses to numerous standards groups and NGO questionnaires with the press of a button
- Benchmark against 20 Business Benefits to build your CSR business case
- Issue "To-Do" Lists by Business Areas to create linkage and change across business units
