The consultation on the proposed BBFAW 2022 Benchmark is now open and will run until 14th February 2023.
Following the first decade of BBFAW Benchmarks, the BBFAW Partners decided that it was necessary to pause the annual assessment cycle during 2022 in order to conduct a thorough revision of the assessment criteria, to ensure they are aligned with evolving expectations of companies. The postponed 2022 Benchmark company assessments will be conducted in April and May 2023.
Two consultation webinars were held on the 2nd February and offered companies the opportunity to hear more about the proposed changes to the 2022 BBFAW methodology and to submit responses live during the webinar. If you missed this event and wish to catch upon-demand, the video and presentation are available to view below.
The consultation paper, which details the proposed changes to the Benchmark in 2022, and a template for written responses, can be found here:
