[The World Benchmarking Alliance] are happy to publish the social transformation draft methodology. It outlines the draft indicators that will be used to assess the 2,000 most influential companies globally on 15 core social topics. These include living wages, corporate taxation, lobbying, core labour standards and respect for human rights.

Just as the SDGs place people first, WBA’s social transformation aims to put people at the heart of change so that no one is left behind. Accordingly, WBA proposes a framework that will assess the 2,000 keystone companies against a common set of core social expectations that all companies must meet as well as their contribution to the relevant social aspects of the system transformation it falls within.

Are the topics right? Are the indicators set at the right level? [Send] your input to us by emailing [email protected].

We kindly invite you to give your feedback by 7 September.
