Analysis- UN Global Compact (UNGC)
Out of 200 analyzed companies, 38 (19%) are signatories of the UN Global Compact. There is a weak positive correlation between the position in the ASR™ and being a signatory of the UN Global Compact. Signing the UN Global Compact did not have a very significant impact on the level of disclosure of the analyzed companies. Looking at the top half (top 100), 32 out of 100 companies (32%) have signed the UN Global Compact, while if we look at the bottom half, only 6 percent are signatories. That places 85% of GC signatories in the top 100. Notably, however, 50% of the companies in the top 20 of the ASR™ have signed the UNGC.
