This special report coincides with the bi-annual update of the Responsibility 100 Index, our ranking of the FTSE 100 companies on their commitment to key social, environmental and ethical objectives. The Climate100 Index is a detailed assessment of the climate-related data drawn from the Responsibility100 Index, and measures the gap between the words and actions of some of the world’s biggest and most carbon-intensive companies. A firm commitment to divestment, decarbonisation and sustainability has never been more urgent for the FTSE 100. The welfare of the planet is a crucial factor in determining the well- being of all life on Earth, and companies must act fast to ameliorate the many severe processes of climate change that are already underway. In this year of decisions, and in the run up to COP26, the companies of the FTSE 100 face an emergency. Those that make and follow through on substantial commitments to alter their course and address climate change deserve recognition. Those that do not must be held accountable. The Climate100 Index focuses on the factors that are important to this change, and presents a comprehensive data set and ranking based on the climate-related aspects of the FTSE 100’s actions. We are delighted to present the 2021 index in partnership with Teneo, a global advisory firm that provides strategic counsel to CEOs and senior executives of the world’s leading companies, across their full range of key objectives and issues. As CEOs face an imperative to prioritise ESG as a key aspect of value creation no company can ignore, silo, or treat as a supplementary practice. We hope you find the index and information contained in this report insightful and informative as work in collaboration to accelerate the journey to net zero. Alexandra Mousavizadeh Editor & Partner, Tortoise Media “ 2021 will be a pivotal year for the FTSE100. Leadership is rising to the climate challenge and to the public’s desire for a fairer society. They are re-setting ambitions to accelerate innovation and action. The Responsibility 100 is one good way for all their stakeholders to track their progress.” Fraser Hardie Chairman, Teneo UK In partnership with 3 of 19 Meet the FTSE The FTSE 100 are the largest group of companies on the London Stock Exchange, by market capitalisation. These companies are often sector leaders, large employers and market innovators. Their actions are an indicator of the current business environment and a standard for other businesses around the world. The FTSE 100 have offices and subsidiaries all over the world, meaning that smaller subsets of their operations span the entire globe and affect international markets and supply chains.

Our Index leader, Land Securities, is one of only 14 FTSE 100 companies to receive an “A” rating from the CDP as its Climate Score; this suggests that its performance and reporting against the CDP’s comprehensive measures are both solid. Three other companies in the Top 5 – Burberry, Unilever and BT Group – also receive an “A” rating from the CDP. Land Securities and Burberry also achieved their targets to limit the amount of waste sent to landfill, with their recycling rates standing at 73 and 75 per cent respectively. BT Group makes use of renewable energy for 89.9 per cent of its total consumption, well above the FTSE 100 average of 38 per cent for those companies that also report. Burberry and British Land – also in the Top Five of the Climate100 Index – exceed the average at 83 and 77 per cent respectively. All five companies decreased their total year-on-year energy consumption, with Burberry making the largest percentage reduction at nearly 10 per cent. Our Index leaders practice what they preach; four of the Top Five companies also rank well in our “Talk” pillar. In other words, they set plenty of clear, measurable climate-related targets and they outperform their peers when it comes to our “Walk” indicators. Who’s lagging behind? Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust ranks bottom of the Climate100. The investment group has no offices or employees and therefore does not report its emissions or other key climate data, including mandatory Scope 1 and 2 reporting Second-to-last is food delivery company Just Eat Takeaway.com. Alongside Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust, they are one of just two companies not to report their Scope 1 and 2 emissions data, as well as most other environmental reporting. A lack of transparency overwhelmingly contributed to poor performance in our Index. For example, of the bottom five companies, only BP reports its Scope 3 emissions – i.e. greenhouse gas emissions that occur along the company’s value chain. Other “bottom five”companies include oil and gas giant BP and home improvements business Homeserve. Both received an “F” rating from the CDP. This suggests that the companies have weak reporting on climate-related metrics – from emissions to waste.

  • Enhance Innovation and Agility with Digital Twins Executive Summary
    Enhance innovation and agility with Digital Twins Executive Summary There’s no denying we live in uncertain and rapidly changing times and companies are looking for every opportunity to become more agile. Digital twins is a rapidly emerging technology that delivers to this end. Not to be confused as a mere dashboard, a digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object, machine part, system, process or entire lifecycle. Digital twin technology enables real-time monitoring and control, the ability to learn with AI and ML, to autonomously update, self-heal, and even improve systems and designs over time. This paper seeks to achieve four objectives. First, to help the reader understand Digital twin technology and its potential. Second, to provide a structured way of looking at the various use cases and applications of this technology. Third, to feature Microsoft partners who have differentiated capabilities that bring digital twin visions to life. Fourth, to discuss the Azure Digital Twin platform and other investments from Microsoft in this space. Digital twin technology is commonly applied to manufacturing across key applications that span manufacturing scenarios/use-cases. The priority scenarios, or use cases, as they relate in Manufacturing are 1) Product, 2) Factory, 3) Supply Chain, and 4) Spaces. The top applications include configuration management, asset management, process control, performance management and simulation modeling. Configuration management tracks bills of materials, around assets as designed, manufactured, configured, and maintained. E.g. For complex & expensive assets like aircrafts this information is typically maintained by tail number. Asset management deals with telemetry of an asset itself and gives insight in to how something is working.

    NON- CONFIDENTIAL JUST EAT TAKEAWAY.COM Submission to the CMA in response to its request for views on its Provisional Findings in relation to the Amazon/Deliveroo merger inquiry 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1. In line with the Notice of provisional findings made under Rule 11.3 of the Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") Rules of Procedure published on the CMA website, Just Eat Takeaway.com N.V. ("JETA") submits its views on the provisional findings of the CMA dated 16 April 2020 (the "Provisional Findings") regarding the anticipated acquisition by Amazon.com BV Investment Holding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon") of certain rights and minority shareholding of Roofoods Ltd ("Deliveroo") (the "Transaction"). 2. In the Provisional Findings, the CMA has concluded that the Transaction would not be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition ("SLC") in either the market for online restaurant platforms or the market for online convenience groceries ("OCG")1 on the basis that, as a result of the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") crisis, Deliveroo is likely to exit the market unless it receives the additional funding available through the Transaction. The CMA has also provisionally found that no less anti-competitive investors were available. 3. JETA considers that this is an unprecedented decision by the CMA and questions whether it is appropriate in the current market circumstances. In its Phase 1 Decision, dated 11 December 20192, the CMA found that the Transaction gives rise to a realistic prospect of an SLC as a result of horizontal effects in the supply of food platforms and OCG in the UK.

Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Amyas Morse, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some 860 staff. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to audited savings of almost £1.2 billion in 2012.
