Benchmarking: our Better Business Benchmark tool

We believe businesses can use benchmarking to better understand how they compare to others in corporate responsibility, identifying areas of strength, gaps to best practice and opportunities to differentiate from peers
We offer a range of benchmarking support options including custom qualitative benchmarking reports and our new quantitative tool - the Better Business Benchmark.
Our Better Business Benchmark uses a proprietary framework comparing the performance of businesses across ten essential aspects of corporate responsibility, addressing 82 issues. The criteria in the tool are informed by external standards, as well as our 20+ years of experience working with clients to help them benchmark and measure sustainability performance.
