Methodology

Scoring Framework

Our assessment uses a 5-point maturity scale for each criterion:

Initial

Developing

Early stage implementation

Established

Systematic implementation

Advanced

Leading

Best-in-class implementation

Assessment Categories

The assessment evaluates three core dimensions:

Environmental

Carbon emissions, resource efficiency, waste management, and environmental impact

Social

Governance

Scoring Methodology

Each category score is calculated as follows:

  • Individual criteria scores (1-5) are averaged within each category
  • Category scores are normalized to a percentage (0-100%)
  • Overall maturity score is weighted average of category scores
  • Peer comparison uses industry-specific benchmarks
