This data shows how UN Global Compact participants have engaged with potentially affected stakeholders in relation to the listed environmental topics. Engagement with stakeholder groups may take place directly with members of the concerned group - employees, contract workers, supply chain workers, affected communities, and consumers - or through their legitimate representatives, such as trade unions, community leaders, or others.

This data shows the various actions UN Global Compact participants could have taken to prevent or mitigate the impacts associated with the listed environmental topics. Potential impacts can be prevented or mitigated through the horizontal integration of findings across the business enterprise. These findings can be the result of the initial risk assessment, or by way of an audit process and/or corrective action plan.

This data shows whether UN Global Compact participants have identified adverse impact(s) they have caused or contributed to and if remedy was then provided. Businesses, even with the best policies and practices enacted, may cause or contribute to adverse environmental impacts. When they occur, it is important that they address these impacts, including through provision for and cooperation in the remediation process. Examples of a remedy include, but are not limited to: apologies, financial or non-financial compensation, prevention of harm through injunctions or guarantees of non-repetition, punitive sanctions (whether criminal or administrative, such as fines) restitution, restoration and rehabilitation.

This data shows the average Scope 1 GHG emissions measured by UN Global Compact participants. Scope 1 GHG emissions are direct GHG emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by an organization. They represent the most immediate carbon footprint of a company’s operations (e.g. combustion in company-owned or -controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc.; emissions from chemical production in owned or controlled process equipment).

This data shows the environmental topics identified as material by participants, meaning the topics that represent the organization’s most significant impacts on the economy, environment, and people. Impacts can have negative or positive consequences for the organization itself, with these impacts being operational, legal, reputational and, in many cases, financial.

This data shows whether UN Global Compact participants that identified 'water' as a material topic measured their organization's water withdrawal and consumption during the reporting period, as well as the percentage of water withdrawn and consumed in areas experiencing high water stress.

The following data shows the average volume of the organizations' water withdrawal and consumption during the reporting period, as well as the average percentage of water withdrawn and consumed in areas experiencing high water stress.

Note: While numerical entries are subject to formatting requirements on the digital platform, the data remains self-reported and is not independently validated. As a result, some reported values may produce outliers. The trends reflected in this chart are likely directionally accurate, but individual data points should be interpreted with caution. Data validation checks introduced in 2025 are expected to improve data quality and precision over time.

This data shows whether UN Global Compact participants that identified 'nature and biodiversity' as a material topic measured the number and area of sites owned, leased, or managed by participants in or adjacent to protected areas and/or key biological areas (KBAs). KBAs provide a science-based and internationally recognized means of identifying sites contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity, while protected areas indicate nationally (and often internationally) recognized areas of ecological or cultural importance, typically with specific legal protections. Participants could select “Unknown” if the land use near protected sites was not measured or “Not applicable” if no properties bordered or fell within a KBA.

The following data shows the average number of sites reported by participants that share a boundary with, or are located within, a protected area or Key Biodiversity Area (KBA), as well as the average total land area of these sites, measured in hectares.

This data shows whether UN Global Compact participants that identified 'air pollution' as a material topic measured their organization's emissions of the listed pollutants. Air pollutants and GHGs often share the same sources and most solutions that improve air quality also address climate change. The development of integrated inventories can enable companies to maximize the benefits of their actions to human health, climate, ecosystems and many other sustainable development goals. Refer to the Guidebook Glossary for definitions of the listed air pollutants.

The following data shows the average total emissions, in tonnes, reported for each pollutant category.
