Guidance

This checklist is intended to help companies understand the steps to prepare and complete the self-assessment. It is recommended that large companies begin these steps one-to-two weeks in advance to allow sufficient time to build a team and gather relevant data.

Practical checklist

1

Designate a lead contact to fill in the assessment on behalf of your company. This person will lead on coordinating with other teams to gather relevant information, complete the assessment online and share results within the company. 

2

Identify other team members to contribute to the assessment process. The tool covers company policies and practices related to leadership, ethics, compliance, transparency and anti-corruption, Government and stakeholder relations, human resources management, contractor and supplier management, and procurement. This means you might need information from colleagues in these teams. You may also need to speak with key suppliers and contractors.

3

Prior to starting the assessment, download this document and share among your assessment team. Gather relevant data and reports to complete the assessment. 

4

Complete the assessment online. Use the information gathered by the assessment team to fill in the online assessment. Your answers will be saved as you go, and you can always go back and complete the assessment later. 

5

Receive your results. The Transformational Governance Self Assessment Tool platform will produce a results page that can be shared. Results include an overall score as well as progress across different approaches to transformational governance. We encourage you to review results as a team to discuss strengths and opportunities and to develop an action plan. 

6

Consult relevant resources to strengthen your approach. The tool will point you to resources that can support you in taking the next steps. 

7

Revisit the tool to measure your progress.

Thank you for using the UN Global Compact Transformational Governance Tool on behalf of your company and for taking this critical step to foster transformational governance.
