The score4more benchmarking guides companies in improving their sustainability performance by comparing them with industry leaders. It examines best practices and scores of these pioneers across individual profile topics. The goal is to accelerate transformation: through best practice transfer and learning from top performers, companies can quickly identify additional actions and steps for improvement.

The benchmarking follows a methodical approach:

1. Analysis of company profiles: Industry-specific company profile data undergoes structured analysis and classification based on the scoring logic.
2. Selection of pioneering companies: Benchmarking companies in each industry are chosen, based on their overall scoring and selected layers; the best scoring ranking companies are included.
3. Identification of best practices: During profile re-analysis, AI/ML identifies key best practices from the pioneers' profile for each topic in scope. Results are summarized consistently in length and wording.
4. Benchmarking: Companies can compare their scores and best practices with industry leaders, providing concrete starting points for their improvements.

The benchmarking has an overview on results and then detailed results for each topic in scope. The benchmarking overview elements are shown here:
