Benchmarking the 'S' in ESG
SocialMarks is the only action-based platform for benchmarking the “S” in ESG. Based on our 30 years of experience in the market, we look at how companies are making decisions and investments towards social impact. Then, we map that to their competition to reveal what a company should do next to increase their ESG profile.
Who We are
For more than 25 years, we have worked with companies to Put Purpose in Motion all over the world. Our experience working with CSR, HR, Sustainability and Marketing Departments across the spectrum has been the guide in developing this unique and actionable set of data. We have always been motivated by practical solutions and driven to help companies be and do better. SocialMarks is here to help the private sector define and improve their social license to operate.
How we do it
SocialMarks has three components — People, Brand, and Community — with clear definitions. This allows us to provide benchmarks against the most relevant competitive set and reveal opportunities to improve external ESG rankings and, more importantly, your bottom line.
Research shows that higher ESG scores are related to better financial outcomes, improved impressions among stakeholders, and increased social impact for the brand. The data that we provide is actionable — you’ll see detailed areas for improvement as well as information on how to make those improvements — and can be used to design and implement programs to improve Social (and overall ESG) ranking and performance.
