- Share of renewable electricity consumption (normalized by industry)
- Sustainability maturity
- Intent to leverage sustainability solutions

Sustainability Maturity
ⓈMaturity gauges how far along a company is on its sustainability journey. It takes into account various factors such as:- Breadth and depth of sustainability strategy
- Investment in sustainability
- External stakeholder engagement on sustainability topics
- Disclosure, awareness and management of environmental performance
- Sustainability certifications, awards and memberships
The maturity rank is based on a company's overall maturity score compared to other companies in the same industry (over 50 companies) in Illuminem's database. Higher maturity result in a higher rank.
Companies at the early stage of their sustainability journey are usually just starting to recognize the importance of sustainability. Their goals are often compliance-driven, cost-saving, or reputation-based, rather than deeply integrated into their core business strategy. Example solutions include services to comply with regulations, compliance software, consulting services, energy management & efficiency to reduce cost, certifications etc.
Companies with high sustainability maturity have deeply integrated sustainability into their core strategy and view it as a competitive advantage. Sustainability is not just a compliance requirement but a business driver that aligns with long-term value creation. Example solutions include insetting & supply chain services, carbon neutrality solutions, circular economy models, innovations in sustainable products and services etc.

- News or public reports by the company signaling interest to buy relevant solutions
- Intensity and progress against sustainability targets or pledges (reported publicly by the company)
- Level of pressure on sustainability performance from relevant stakeholders (as reported by the company or estimated based on industry/geography)
The intent rank is based on a company's overall intent score compared to other companies in the same industry (over 50 companies) in Illuminem's database. Higher intent results in a higher rank.

Progress against targets
ⓈCompany sustainability reportThe progress towards net zero targets in Hertfordshire includes the opening of Buntingford First School, which has achieved net zero carbon status through the use of solar panels and low carbon materials. This initiative is part of a broader strategy following the declaration of a climate change emergency, where all new school developments are designed to meet net zero carbon in operation standards. The reduction in carbon emissions is significant, with approximately 200 tonnes of carbon saved, equivalent to heating 75 homes in the UK for a year. This progress reflects Hertfordshire's commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint in educational infrastructure.
