Impact Intensities represent the average social and environmental footprint of industries in different countries relative to their revenue. They measure impact efficiency, i.e., how efficiently industries manage their social and environmental impact while driving economic activity. Absolute values, on the other hand, represent the total impact of a given sector or country. Learn more in our Benchmark Reports. 1

Economic, Environmental and Social Impact to Society: Comparing Value Creation Beyond GDP
The benchmarks below show the average societal impacts of industries across countries. These impacts are expressed either as impact intensities (cents of impact per dollar of revenue) or as total impacts (millions of dollars of impact). Results are available by sector, by country, or by country-sector combinations. They indicate how value creation and externalities are distributed across the supply chain and a given sector’s own operations.
