Overview The mission of the Roundtable is to foster and evolve corporate responsibility practices, measures, and disclosure in the government contractor community Through a vibrant community of practice, cross-sector leaders will collectively produce models, measurements, and recommendations to drive transparency and accountability over the next quarter century

3. The Roundtable • Goal: To improve corporate responsibility in the government contractor community • Approach: By promoting transparency and sharing best practices, companies will strive for higher levels of responsibility and corporate excellence • Who: Bring together the key executives and thought leaders from companies, agencies, academia and policy organizations to define a vision and approach forward • What: Quarterly Roundtables and ongoing working groups leading to a yearly set of policy and practice recommendations for government, industry and congressional leaders

4. Founding Principles • Promote Transparency • Transparency in a company comes from disclosing information across a range of practices; transparency in the community comes from aggregating this data across companies • The Roundtable will develop a framework and approach for making information open and accessible to government and the public, addressing such issues as: • What information should companies share? How and where do they share it? • How can information be aggregated and made widely available to those that want to use it? • How might government use this information to inform buying decisions? • Share Best Practices • This group will help promote best practices in measurement and information sharing across this community • The Roundtable will use technology, in-person meetings and publications such as CR Magazine to disseminate information
