Benchmark Report 2026 - What’s New?

Benchmark Report 2026 – What’s New?

There are two changes to the way we’ll conduct this year’s Benchmark. Here’s what you need to know:

Change One

In 2026 we’re offering companies two feedback periods after they receive their preliminary scorecard.

The first batch of companies will be able to leave feedback starting midway through May, and the second batch of companies in mid-June.

Change Two

This year we have a new indicator to assess if companies are engaging with children as stakeholders.

During the past two global Benchmarks, we’ve trialled the indicator: Stakeholder Consultation and Engagement.

This year it’s included as indicator 1.2.3 and factored into a company’s final score.
