This white paper lays out the WEPs reporting framework as it stands today, which aims to assist WEPs signatories in systematically assessing and maximizing their impact, identify areas for improvement, and communicate their commitments transparently to stakeholders. It discusses the value of consistent reporting in driving accountability, fostering trust, and aligning with global expectations for corporate responsibility.
It also provides a preliminary mapping of the current state of play when it comes to global metrics and reporting on women’s empowerment, recognizing the key gaps that prevail. It is the ambition of this whitepaper to launch a cross-sectoral consultation on a draft zero reporting framework that recognizes the existing metrics globally present today, whilst acknowledging key gaps that prevail across various global instruments (hereafter, the initiative).
