The signatory annual reporting deadline of 31 March was extended to 2 April due to the Easter holidays. Any reports that have not been submitted are now outstanding and the compliance follow-up process will begin. Signatories are urged to submit their reports as soon as possible in order to remain compliant.
Once reports have been submitted, they undergo an independent assessment and are given a rating out of 5. Assessed reports will be sent to signatories in July 2013, and then uploaded to the APC website.
We encourage signatories to upload their annual reports with company branding to their websites. However, the reports that will be uploaded to the APC website will be in the generic format.
