The Investing and Saving Alliance (TISA) has published its United Nations sustainable development goals benchmark conducted in collaboration with The Disruption House.
TISA has carried out an analysis of its sustainability practises, including a review of TISA’s alignment with the UN’s Global Core Indicators, in collaboration with The Disruption House.
TISA says it will be able to strengthen accountability to all stakeholders and improve its sustainability decision-making processes thanks to the findings from The Disruption House analysis.
Prominent findings from the assessment indicate that TISA is making substantial strides in achieving five UN SDGs: 8, 9, 10, 16, and 17 which are ‘Decent Work and Economic Growth’, ‘Industry Innovation and Infrastructure’, ‘Reduced Inequalities’, ‘Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions’ and ‘Partnerships for the Goals’. Additionally, the analysis has prompted TISA to acknowledge the necessity of enhancing alignment with Goal 7, ‘Affordable and Clean Energy’, as a strategic priority.
TISA UK CEO Carol Knight says: “A key part of TISA’s role is to promote the financial wellbeing of UK Consumers. Sustainability transparency is increasingly seen as a key differentiator in choice of provider as independent research shows that customers perceive how a company treats its employees, community, and environment as an indication of how they will be treated.”
TISA’s collaboration with The Disruption House reflects their commitment to supporting their members in their ESG initiatives and goals. Through this partnership, TISA offers assistance in building ESG capabilities, supporting limited in-house resources, updating previous ESG work, conducting health checks to identify gaps, and prioritising actions.
Knight adds: “The Disruption House evaluation process was an enlightening experience which provided actionable insights into our internal processes. I believe publishing the results of our benchmarking exercise further demonstrates our relentless quest to ensure sustainability practices are embedded across the financial services sector. I would encourage our members to consider the benefits of conducting their own analyses.”
The Disruption House CEO and founder Rupert Bull says: “We applaud TISA for advancing the UN’s SDGs and highlighting the benefits of transparent reporting. This approach contributes to accelerating the financial services sector’s efforts to address pressing global issues encompassing environmental, diversity and inclusion challenges.”
