Benchmarking

Through benchmarking, we evaluate your organisation's CSR programme and compare it with what others are doing, including your peers and the leaders in CSR.

The Accountability Rating

The basis of most of our benchmarking work is the Accountability Rating, the foremost tool for measuring the extent to which companies have built responsible practices into the way they do business. We use the Rating to give you a detailed picture of your accountability in four key areas: strategy, governance, engagement and impact. We compare your company with best practice and the comparator groups you select, and provide clear, practical recommendations for how you can improve your accountability.

We also carry out internal benchmarking. Using our Reality Check tool, we can measure and compare CSR management across your organisation's operating companies or sites. The findings can be the basis for driving CSR performance across the organisation and enabling different units to learn from each other.
