Canada's Premier Environmental Sustainability Benchmarking & Analysis Company
The Delphi Group is called upon regularly by clients to develop competitive analysis through benchmarking in the areas of corporate sustainability or responsibility, as well as carbon management related issues. Through dozens of projects, we have analyzed over 100 companies across many sectors, resulting in thousands of data and information points.
Delphi’s competitive analysis differs from others as we are able to analyze both quantitative and qualitative information sources to derive trends, best practices, and business opportunity areas. This ability is made possible because our staff are experts in the subjects we are researching.
Delphi offers numerous competitive analysis services. Some of them include:
- TSX 60 Environment/Social / Governance performance benchmarking and analysis, contained in the Clean Capitalism Report, co-authored with Corporate Knights.
- Off-the-shelf sector specific results available with or without matching analysis and trending information.
- One-off, individual client driven competitive analysis, customized to the priority issues of interest to an organization.
- Confidential interview and survey-driven benchmarking analysis, for a group of clients or industry association.
- Sector-wide benchmarking on both corporate strategies and environmental performance related impacts, based on publicly available information.

Recent Project Examples
Bi-Annual Energy Sector Sustainability Study
In 2010 Delphi performed groundbreaking research for a multi-client project that summarized how 45 energy sector companies were reporting and performing on over 75 key sustainability and carbon performance indicators. This year in 2012, Delphi will be updating the study, and breaking new ground into emerging areas of interest to companies, including climate change adaptation and sustainability information in financial reports.
Delphi’s Energy Sector Sustainability Study provides our clients with company-specific performance analysis highlighting key areas of differentiation and improvement. Key benchmarks, trends, and scores for all performance indicators are summarized and are visually provided for effortless insertion into executive briefing presentations or reports. Clients have full access to information at ease with web-based results, supplemented with qualitative and quantitative data sheets, allowing for expanded research and simple validation. All results of this bi-annual study are confidential and multi-year trending analysis is available.

Example of output
2010 Clean Capitalism Report
The 2010 Clean Capitalism Report on business corporate responsibility ranking provides insight into the environmental, social and governance (ESG) state of affairs and trends of Canada’s largest companies.
This report is a joint initiative by Corporate Knights and The Delphi Group, and includes an analysis on the ESG status of S&P/TSX 60 companies, benchmark rankings, and best practice highlights. Corporate Knights conducted the ranking, and The Delphi Group analyzed the results and methodology used.
The report is based on the results of the exclusive, quantitative research project conducted for the inaugural Globe and Mail Report on Business Corporate Responsibility Ranking. The report includes proprietary data for all 60 S&P/TSX 60 companies, as well as sector-by-sector analysis, including an overview of 10 industry sectors (Energy, Financials, Materials [Mining], Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Telecommunications, Utilities, IT, Healthcare), detailed performance data about each company in each sector and each company's ranking relative to its peers, across 12 criteria.
