		During 2006 we extended our work to develop a Global Reporting Technology Platform to
		make it easy for organisations to prepare reports in line with the UN Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
		We placed particular emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility,(CSR), to reflect the increased importance of CSR around the world.
We developed an online Questionnaire that anyone can use for a self-assessemnt of their 'Footprint in UNGC Principles and CSR'
 
  
		Our expected Outcome from this work is that we will make it easier for people to become better informed and able to increase their contribution to the UNGC Principles.
 
  
		Details of this work and our Global Reporting Platform are available 
		on demand.
		
  As part of this Platform, We have designed Data Models for :-
		CSR Framework
		GRI Indicators
		GRI Repository
		GRI User's Portal
		Social Capitalist Awards
		
  In addition, our thinking has been influenced by an excellent article on CSR and Competitive Advantage, in the
		Harvard Business Review
 
  
		We have applied our 
		Global Accountability Framework, to the UNGC,
		and have developed an ICT Toolkit to support the UNGC.
		 We have consolidated some Case Studies,
		and this is our Information Architecture for the UNGC.
