CoP Submission Trends

Explore year-over-year global submissions from UN Global Compact participants that completed the Communication on Progress (CoP) questionnaire. This tool focuses exclusively on data collected through the CoP questionnaire and does not include data from participants that fulfilled their CoP reporting requirement by uploading a sustainability report.

Note: Submission numbers were significantly lower during the 2023 CoP reporting cycle due to the transition to a new digital reporting platform and the voluntary nature of reporting requirements during that period.
