The purpose of the Scorecard is to generate a balanced and reliable measurement of the G20’s performance in response to business recommendations that have been put forward to Heads of Government.

The Scorecard is part of ICC’s overall agenda to establish an enduring, legitimate voice of global business and target G20 policy development on a global scale. It is a framework with which ICC monitors actions and commitments initiated by the G20, and the G20’s response to business recommendations.

The Scorecard appreciates the fine points of the G20’s policymaking process, and it recognizes that there has been steady progress on many fronts. Even “incomplete” scores reveal the value of the process and shed light on where progress has been made.

Results from the Scorecard also demonstrate the value of business engagement and serve to further mobilize business community input in the process.

ICC recognizes that this first edition of the Scorecard is a snapshot of progress at this point, and there is more work to be done and additional areas to address. As such, the Scorecard is envisioned to be a living document that evolves and broadens with G20 developments. Subsequent editions of the Scorecard will adapt to meet the challenges of identifying deficiencies that merit greater attention, provide guidance for action and improvement, and monitor progress from Summit to Summit.
