Trucost benchmark service provides an analysis of a company’s environmental performance and reporting compared with that of its peers.

The Benchmark will:

Set out where a company and its peers are, or are not, reporting in accordance with UK Government Guidelines, Environmental Key Performance Indicators: Reporting Guidelines for UK Business

Include 'snapshots' of actual peer reporting showing exactly how they present environmental matters in public reports

Provide performance data giving a comparison of the efficiency of a company and its peers in environmental terms. It will analyse which companies potentially face the greatest risk from environmental factors. Specific factors can be considered, for example, it may be sensible in an increasingly carbon constrained world to show which companies have the greatest potential financial exposure to carbon. It is also an excellent tool for companies wishing to set environmental or decreasing resource use targets

Present comparative environmental performance data that institutional investors now build into their stock picking and engagement processes


Trucost has the world’s largest database of corporate environmental performance data, covering over 3,200 companies. Trucost can benchmark the environmental performance of peer companies, regardless of whether or not they publish environmental data, because it has a unique and proprietary method of calculating the impacts of companies that do not report.
