Simple Steps
Step 1: Submit a story
Choose an issue and assess against the benchmark. Go to Get Started. If you’d like to start with Culture, Carbon Footprint or Mental Health or select any of the other issues here.
Provide your story that explains why you are Poor, Okay, Good or Excellent in responding to that issue. Stories from participants are the lifeblood of Responsible 100.
Step 2: Repeat until your Responsibility Indicator dashboard is complete
We’ll create a responsibility Indicator dashboard for you and support you in completing it. You’ll see how quickly it can become a mine of valuable data, a map and an index.
Our tools are designed to make it easy for you to create written accounts of the positions that you take, the things that you do or choose not to do, and possibly what you intend to do in the future. We have an array of resources to help you make the most of this process without it being dull or onerous.
Crucially, we help you evaluate your current performance using the simplest of performance scales. On all of the issues we explore, we help businesses work out whether they are either currently Poor, Okay, Good or Excellent, and then we explore the implications and make recommendations. You’ll soon get a sense of how achievable and relevant this will be, and the various benefits that flow from this approach.
Step 3: Sharing your stories and using the library
To realise the full potential of our tools and process, and maximise the value you offer to the Responsible 100 community, you’ll need to do a little bit of work on all 22 issues. With support from us throughout, you’ll achieve your first completion of the dashboard in no time.
Thereafter, you’ll have full access to our network of issue experts and the option to begin sharing your live case studies in a safe, supportive environment. The sharing of stories in our library is what makes Responsible 100 a vibrant, growing network through which you’ll be able to learn with – and from – other Responsible 100 businesses and partner organisations.
As will become apparent, your dashboard is invaluable in identifying where best to invest your precious resources to improve, as a repository of the live case studies of the work you’re doing, and as a means for ongoing monitoring and course correction.
We’ll work together on your dashboard regularly. Your priority issues and current performance will change and flux as your policies and practices evolve, new information is gathered, events occur, and as other Responsible 100 participants and partners inspire you to make the simple changes to improve your practices.
