Delving into an unrivaled, comprehensive dataset comprising in excess of 83,000 ratings, the report incorporates an analysis of sustainability performance by theme, region and industry division.
The report shows that companies across sizes, industries and geographies have significantly improved their sustainability management practices over the past five years. Global average scores reached 49.2 in 2021, up by 1.7 points from 47.5 in 2020. This represents a doubling of the 0.9-point improvement observed from 2019 to 2020.
In addition, the Deep-Dive section of this report sheds light on companies’ readiness for HRDD requirements.
