PwC has issued a report on the best practice in reporting on social issues amongst UK-listed companies.
Companies were assessed on the alignment of their reports to strategy, their disclosures on affected stakeholders, and the clarity of their reports. Based on these criteria, SSE was ranked as the best company on its social disclosures, followed by NatWest Group and Vodafone.
The report also offers examples of best practice in identifying material topics, setting targets, data transparency and assurance, and disclosures on diversity pay gaps, living wages, upskilling, suppliers and communities.
