Theory of change
Our Theory of Change sets out how WBA intends to make an impact and create change. It links our daily activities – from developing methodologies and benchmarks to engaging through our Alliance – to changes in company behaviours and practices. We measure our progress towards transforming systems through an internal Results Management Framework. This framework informs decision making and ensures continuous learning and improvement.
