The national average scores are grouped by firm size, micro, small, and medium, across four regions: Centre, North East, North West, and South plus Isles. Metrics include sustainable consumption initiatives, women in governance, employee training, local supplier expenditure, women employees, employee retention, energy consumption per revenue, Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions per revenue, and water consumption per revenue. For each metric and region, counts of good performers, firms scoring above the national average, and bad performers, firms scoring at or below the national average, are reported. National average scores range from 14.44 per cent for sustainable consumption initiatives to 80.01 per cent for employee retention. Social and workforce-related metrics generally show more good performers across regions, while environmental metrics such as energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and water consumption show stronger regional variation, with North West and South plus Isles often reporting higher numbers of good performers for emissions measures and Centre showing comparatively stronger performance for water consumption.Main results of the study
