Using over 10,000 data points from more than 200 publicly available sources, the Index ranks FTSE 100 companies by their commitment to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which were introduced in 2015 “to achieve a better future for all” by 2030. It also measures the gap between what companies say and what they do on corporate responsibility – talk versus the walk – highlighting the range of corporate commitment to people and the planet.
The 2020 Edelman Trust Barometer reveals that despite a strong global economy and near full employment, none of the four societal institutions that the study measures—government, business, NGOs and media—is trusted. The cause of this paradox can be found in people’s fears about the future and their role in it, which are a wake-up call for our institutions to embrace a new way of effectively building trust: balancing competence with ethical behavior.
