Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

68%

of Energy firms have CSR committees – which makes sense, as many of these will be alternative energy providers and almost all are involved at some level in the green transition.

59%

of Markets firms have CSR committees, possibly reflecting commitment to ethical investing.

56%

of Deep Tech firms have CSR committees, a surprisingly high number which may reflect societal concerns or the fact that the production of much deep tech takes a heavy environmental toll.

52%

of Insurance firms have CSR committees, reflecting these firms’ need to assess the impacts of their investments on society and the environment.

“I'm pleased to see Energy, Markets, and Deep Tech firms prioritizing CSR, with many forming committees to tackle environmental and social issues. FTSE companies are leading here, likely due to stronger sustainability policies in the UK and Europe. It’s clear businesses are realizing the need to balance profit with responsibility.”
