Simple Supported Steps
Step 1: Assess against a benchmark
Choose a responsibility issue and assess how well your company currently responds to it.
Go to Get Started to begin by exploring Organisational Culture, Carbon Footprint or Mental Health & Wellbeing. Or select any of the other issues here. It won’t take you more than a few minutes to get a sense of the amount of work entailed to add your stories, and the potential benefits of doing so.
We ask that you estimate your current performance using a straightforward four point scale. On any given issue, your story should explain why your organisation’s current performance is Poor, Okay, Good or Excellent. You may include previous history, future plans or any other relevant information in your written account. Please ensure all your submissions are in plain and simple language.
Step 2: Repeat until your Responsibility Indicator dashboard is complete
Next, we’ll provide you a login to our tool, create a Responsibility Indicator dashboard for your organisation, and then support you in completing it.
Our unique model requires that you do a little bit of work on all 22 issues. This is a necessary step in determining your priorities and thus creating the right improvement plan for you. No single responsibility issue impacts any two businesses in exactly the same way. What is critical for one company may be immaterial to the next one.
Once we’ve got a handle on how each issue impacts your organisation and how well you currently respond, we can start to see which issues will require the largest investments of your effort and resources to improve on, as well as where easy solutions exist. We’ll also help identify what improvements to make, how and when.
With support from us throughout, you’ll complete your Responsibility Indicator dashboard in no time. It’ll soon become a mine of valuable data, a map and an index. You’ll use it for internal and external reporting, for defining strategies and measuring your success in pursuit of your goals.
Step 3: Share to and borrow from our Library
Stories from participant companies are the lifeblood of Responsible 100.
Once your Responsibility Indicator dashboard is complete you’ll be to share your stories in our digital Library and explore those that other participant companies have shared. This feature helps to make Responsible 100 a vibrant, growing network through which you’ll be able to learn with – and from – other businesses and expert partner organisations.
Our Library has been designed in the knowledge that all stories from all participants are subject to constant evolution and development.
As a participant, your priority issues and current performance will change and flux as your policies and practices mature, new information is gathered, events occur, and as other Responsible 100 participants and partners provide the ideas and inspiration that uncover further changes and innovations you can adopt to improve.
