ABSTRACT
Allied Domecq first became involved with Contour during 1996, when 100 companies of all sizes and sectors were invited to take part in the new tool developed by CBI for businesses to benchmark their environment, health and safety practice and performance. The tool, Contour, comprised a self-assessment questionnaire that was filled out by the business with the assistance of a facilitator. Results of the pilot study were announced at a CBI conference in September 1997, which also marked the official launch of Contour.
