World Benchmarking Alliance

Strengthening The purpose of the strengthening pillar is to make the impact of companies consequential to the success of companies. [...] This includes increasing the quality and useability of impact-related data and developing more meaningful insights that allow the organisation to learn and improve, bringing impact on the ground to the forefront of our work. [...] The recommendations will build on Pathway One of the WBA’s Corporate Accountability white paper, which focuses on the role of the UN and its member states to articulate the responsibility of business in new or updated agendas. [...] Outputs Bring together key Allies (especially CSOs, investors and business platforms) that are willing to collectively influence company actions based on results from the Gender Benchmark, and identify a gender topic for the CIC, based on the findings of the Gender Benchmark and a mapping of the ecosystem of existing initiatives and gaps. [...] We will socialise the WBA Corporate Accountability white paper during the meetings and workshops and will exchange the learnings we have come across in other UN fora: the work of WBA’s Decarbonisation and Energy (D&E) team with the UNFCCC, and WBA’s Nature team with the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.
