Description
  • This CoP will be available on www.unglobalcompact.org and www.article13.com

    We will also communicate the CoP to Article 13 employees, board members, clients, suppliers, associates and other members of the Article 13 network, as appropriate. This will be done by our internal electronic communication channels, and externally through our regular e-newsletter.

    Other appropriate or interested stakeholders are informed via PowerPoint presentations given in face-to-face meetings, workshops or training programmes.

    In addition, an abridged version of this report is made available on our website and for email despatch to relevant parties. This was first trialled in our half year 2008 report and proved to be a successful way of communicating our achievements in a simple and brief format.
