Commercial Performance System — Measure Commerce. Build Sustainability. Enable Growth.

About CPS

What Is the Commercial Performance System?

CPS is an open commercial performance framework designed to help businesses progress from market participation toward measurable, repeatable, and sustainable operations.

It establishes a common approach for understanding commercial readiness, recording business activity, measuring sustainability, and connecting organizations with relevant growth opportunities.

CPS is not a centralized authority. Participating organizations remain independent and retain responsibility for their own services, eligibility criteria, commercial decisions, and contractual relationships.

Our Vision

A global commercial ecosystem where business opportunities are evaluated through measurable activity, transparent economics, and sustainable performance.

Our Mission

To make commercial performance understandable, comparable, and useful across independent organizations, markets, and industries.

    Evidence Over Assumptions

    Distinguish observed commercial results from forecasts and self-reported information.

  • 4

    Independent Participation

    Enable organizations to collaborate without surrendering operational independence.

  • 5

    Open Interoperability

    Encourage consistent data definitions, transparent methodologies, and compatible commercial reporting.
