The UN GCD particularly supports its members in preparing reports for the UN Global Compact. This includes the Communication on Progress (COP) for businesses and the Communication on Engagement (COE) for non-business organizations.
Additionally, the UN GCD provides information on other current topics in the field of sustainability reporting, such as SDG reporting or the EU reporting requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Reporting of the UN Global Compact
The Communication on Progress (COP) is an annual report through which companies inform about their efforts to implement the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact. As a key component of the Global Compact's integrity measures, the primary goal of the COP is to publicly disclose information about sustainability performance. At the same time, the COP can be an effective tool for dialogue with relevant stakeholders and promote the exchange of best and emerging practices.

Participating non-business organizations, such as universities, chambers of commerce, cities, civil society organizations, associations, and public institutions, are required to submit a Communication on Engagement (CoE) every two years. The CoEs of all organizations are published on their respective UN Global Compact profiles on the UN Global Compact website and can be viewed there.

CoP Mapping
Together with other European country networks of the UN Global Compact, we have created a comprehensive alignment of the ESRS with the UN Global Compact's CoP and other relevant reporting standards (CDP and LkSG) to provide our business participants with a better overview of the sustainability reporting landscape.
