Purpose Chart
This chart shows the areas where we believe we can make the biggest impact in delivering benefits for people and planet, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We assess our impact as follows: -1 for negative, 0 for neutral, +1 for positive and +2 for very positive.
In 2024 our ‘score’ across our portfolio increased from 3.22 at the end of January to 3.34 at the end of August. During the last part of the year, we began to include assessments of our smaller projects – still very much Enhancing Society Together (EST) aligned but where on average there is less opportunity to deliver the more significant benefits. This resulted in a steep increase in assessments, from around 800 projects to around 2,400 at the end of the year (2023: 1,117 projects), representing over 65% of our annual revenue, but we saw a dilution of the overall EST score to 2.7 in December.
