Observations and Assumptions
![Page 33: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Legal & General’s Own Observations
Participation in benchmarking project:
• New co-operation
• Employee Engagement
• Better Group-think
• Group support BU’s
• Better Reporting
• More consistent behaviours (and better branding)
Observations and Assumptions
![Page 34: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Observations as Assessor (Quasi-Audit role)• Increased resources for CSR• Increase CSR awareness• Increased Employee Engagement• Increased Engagement of board members • Improved transparency• Better external stakeholders engagement• More clarity about business strategy
Observations and Assumptions
![Page 35: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What triggered the improvement
actions?
Observations and Assumptions
![Page 36: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
I. Based on the fact that weakens areas identified through the first benchmark have improved, it is possible to attribute some of these improvements to the use of benchmarking tool and competitive forces it created
II. It is not possible to accurately confirm what was the actual trigger of each action of improvement and therefore separate impacts of the benchmarking tool from other factors that could have stronger influence on the participants
Observations and Assumptions
![Page 37: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
III. Internal competition was only created by the CR Index as based on the information from L&G, subsidiaries did not participate in any other benchmarks assessing management and/or performance of CSR and were aware that the benchmark will be repeated in 18 months
IV. It is also possible that certain improvement would naturally happen, without the use of benchmarking tool
Observations and Assumptions
![Page 38: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Legal and General – Future Plans
• In 2012 joint ventures from Egypt, India and Gulf participated in the benchmark
• 2014-2015 all subsidiaries and joint ventures will be benchmarked again
Discussion
![Page 39: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Recommendations
![Page 40: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Further research is recommended to:• Verify if other benchmarking tools have
similar effects on participants• Analyse market circumstances that could
influence company management decisions
• Compare improvement rates of companies using benchmarking tools and those that don’t
• Assess the effect of cultural variables, particularly management approaches
Recommendations
![Page 41: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Further research is recommended to:• Determine if benchmarking tools makes
change happen faster• Assess the influence of public recognition
in external benchmarks on the participants
• Identify the role of external influence from benchmarking assessors
• Verify to what extent external benchmarking tool is effective when used internally
Recommendations
![Page 42: Using Internal Benchmarking to drive change on CSR](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d14ee4bb61eb1f368b463c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Following the use of benchmarking tool, positive changes in the CR management and performance have been observed in all participating companies
• Whether all improvement actions are causally related to benchmarking, or only some, is not possible to verify without further research
Recommendations
