Simple Steps

Step 1: Prioritise The Issues Affecting You Most

No issue impacts any two businesses the same way. 

Responsible business is about sustainable improvements, not striving for perfection then giving up. Prioritisation is the first step in your journey. Once completed, you receive a clear, tailored assessment. 

Take our free 5 minute prioritisation exercise to decide which responsibility issues are the highest priority for your business. Your answers are private and confidential to you – unless you choose to share them with colleagues. That is always your call.

Step 2: Score Your Performance

Choose a high priority responsibility issue and share the story of how your organisation currently responds to or approaches it, using plain and simple language.

Estimate your current performance using a straightforward four point scale. Your story explains and evidences why you consider your organisation’s current performance to be either Poor, Okay, Good or Excellent.

Step 3: Complete Your Dashboard

Determine your responsibility performance overall, so we can develop and refine the right improvement plan for your organisation.

We support you throughout to complete your Responsibility Indicator dashboard. It will soon become a mine of valuable data and a map to plot your improvement. Your Responsibility Indicator is a tool for internal and external reporting, for defining strategies and for measuring your progress.

Step 4: Grow The Library

Once your Responsibility Indicator dashboard is complete you can share your own stories in our digital library and explore those that other participant companies have shared. Our digital library is a collection of stories and resources from the community of other businesses and expert partner organisations.

No one has all the answers. By sharing your experiences, challenges, and successes, you help us collectively refine and improve our shared understanding of business responsibility, and what can be achieved. More stories encourage others to share more, and they enable us to grow the strength and depth of our community.

All stories are subject to constant evolution and development. Your priorities and performance will change as you develop your policies and practices and test them out in the real world. The library is characterised by the collective commitment to continuous improvement by all those lending to and borrowing from it.
