Each section of the Bench Marks contains Principles, Criteria, and Bench Marks (indicators) that relate to all categories of corporate citizenship - ecosystems, communities, labour, women, children, minorities, suppliers, finances and shareholders.

• Principles are statements that a company makes, outlining philosophies meant to ensure that its actions are responsible.
• Criteria relate to a company's policies and practices, which allow a comparison to be made to its Principles for conformity.
• Bench Marks are meaningful indicators or reference points by which to measure a company's performance in relation to its Principles and the Criteria.
