The ACT Accountability and Monitoring Report 2021 – is an unprecedented look into the implementation of the purchasing practices commitments made by ACT member brands. The report interrogates findings from key monitoring tools used by ACT to track the implementation of the ACT Purchasing Practices Commitments. 

Run by ACT in 2021, these surveys canvassed both sides of the business relationship, surveying brand staff as well as suppliers and manufacturers. The surveys asked how the purchasing practices of brands are perceived by brand staff and suppliers and where brands are at in implementing their commitments.

The report provides an even handed evaluation of progress as well as identifying areas requiring concerted focus and investment.
