The CCLA Corporate Mental Health Benchmark – UK 100 aims to evaluate listed companies on the extent to which they provide the conditions for mental health at work to thrive.
On 5th June 2023, we will publish the second iteration of the UK 100 benchmark. To mark the occasion, we will be hosting two webinars, at 9am and 4pm BST (to accommodate various time zones).
We would be delighted if you could join us for the launch.
The event will include a presentation on the 2023 benchmark findings by CCLA and Chronos Sustainability, and a short discussion by company representatives on how the benchmark can be used to strengthen management systems from within.
Background
While there remain significant challenges in assessing and comparing companies on a topic as complex as mental health, this benchmark is designed as a tool for investors to drive corporate disclosure and progress on workplace mental health. Companies and investors alike stand to gain; Deloitte finds an average return on investment of workplace mental health interventions of £5 for every £1 invested in mental health interventions.
With the support of Chronos Sustainability, and an Expert Advisory Panel including Lord Dennis Stevenson CBE; Paul Farmer CBE, Age UK; Dr Shekhar Saxena, Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health; Dr Junko Umihara, Showa Women’s University; Dr Richard Caddis, BT; Elena Espinoza, and Remi Fernandez, United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), CCLA has built and refined a set of 27 assessment criteria.
In March this year, we used these criteria to evaluate and score the 100 largest UK-listed companies with more than 10,000 employees on their public disclosures.
