FREE Environmental Skyline
The Trucost Environmental Skyline is a unique exhibit in the world of environmental metrics: build an Environmental Skyline.

In a single graphic, you get a view of five different dimensions of the environmental impact of your chosen company:
- Trucost's Environmental Skyline is an assessment of the performance of an organisation across six broad groups of environmental performance: greenhouse gases, water, waste, air pollutants, natural resource use, and land/water pollutants. Environmental impacts are not just about carbon, and the Environmental Skyline gives you exactly that broader perspective, which is practically impossible to get without access to Trucost's data.
- Most companies struggle to assess their direct impacts, let alone their indirect supply chain impacts. Trucost's Environmental Skyline offers an immediate assessment of the scale of direct and indirect environmental impacts a company is causing, for each of the environmental KPIs listed above.
- Each company is assessed according to the size of its different business activities for a particular year. Business activities are classified based upon Northern American Industrial Classification (NAICs) 6 digit codes. Each environmental issue in the Environmental Skyline is shown in comparison to an industry benchmark. The benchmark index of 100 represents average performance in the sector. The lower the index rating, the better the performance of the company compared to its peers, meaning that it is consuming fewer resources.
- Trucost rates a company's overall environmental performance by providing its position in the benchmark. The company is ranked against peers who share the same primary business activity at NAICS 3 digit code level.
- A company will have a different Environmental Skyline each financial year as its business and that of its peers changes.
Trucost's Environmental Skyline offers a valuable assessment of a company's performance, covering issues that are expensive and time-consuming to assess without the use of Trucost's powerful data model and comprehensive data.
