Los Grobo, Argentina 2009

Of the 5191 reports currently uploaded on the Global Compact page, about 266 are considered outstanding and only 8 Argentine companies are included. Among them is the company Grupo Los Grobo.

The Global Compact Office introduced the Notable COP program in 2004 to highlight and recognize outstanding Communications on Progress (COP). COPs featured in the Notable COP program are selected because of their adherence to the COP policy and because they represent illustrative and inspirational examples of communicating progress.

As a statement of continued support and details on actions and outcomes, a Communication on Progress is a powerful way of advancing learning and communicating good practices,which help to build both internal and external benefits. It also helps ensure the integrity of the Global Compact.

In order to be considered notable, a COP must meet all the basic requirements as specified in the COP policy. In addition, a Notable COP must meet certain criteria in two or more of the categories below:

1. Strong statement of continued support for the Global Compact;
2. Clear and detailed description of practical actions taken in implementing the Global Compact principles and/or in undertaking partnership projects in support of broader UN goals;
3. Measurement of outcomes that allows for checking progress;
4. Reporting process ensures reliability, clarity and timeliness of information and includes stakeholder dialogue.
