A COP seeks to inform a company's stakeholders about its progress in implementing the UN Global Compact's Ten Principles and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The purpose of the COP is both to ensure and deepen the commitment of UN Global Compact Participants and Signatories, and to safeguard the integrity of the initiative. In addition, the collection of COPs on the UN Global Compact website creates a rich source of corporate practice examples that serve as a basis for learning and continuous performance improvement. UN Global Compact business Participants and Signatories are obliged to publish annually a COP compliant with UN Global Compact requirements.

Everything you need to know about COP reports can be found on the UN Global Compact website:

*Kindly note that non-business UN Global Compact Signatories are required to submit an annual Communication on Engagement (COE).
