Over seven years of assessment, the median disclosure score has doubled, from 19 in 2018 to 38 in 2024, and significantly more companies now reach the highest band.
Across all companies assessed each year
The figure beneath each year indicates the number of companies assessed. Coverage expanded from 56 companies in 2018 to 148 in 2024, so annual figures are not directly comparable.

Scores are shown as published in the BGK Foundation database. "Latest" shows each company's most recent review. Sectors are grouped from the database's sector labels.
Each assessment evaluates the information a company discloses in its sustainability report, using a framework of ESG factors selected for their relevance and impact.
The company's official sustainability report is reviewed to understand how its commitments, priorities and disclosures are presented.
Disclosures are assessed against BGK Foundation's 33 ESG factors and cross-referenced with key GRI indicators to evaluate their completeness and relevance.
An overall disclosure score is calculated, reflecting how clearly and consistently the company communicates its ESG performance.
Each factor sits within the Environmental, Social or Governance pillar and is mapped to GRI Standards indicators and the SDGs it supports.
The 33 factors were developed through a review of regulatory studies, international agreements and globally recognised reporting frameworks, including GRI, CDP and the TCFD recommendations:
By assessing disclosure across 33 factors, the methodology connects corporate reporting with the broader sustainability agenda, identifying gaps, areas for improvement and ESG-related risks.
All 17 goals are addressed by at least one pillar, SDGs 5, 8 and 12 are supported by two.
