Urban Benchmark

31 October 2024

The first-ever iteration of WBA’s Urban Benchmark ranks the sustainability performance of the 300 most influential companies shaping urban environments worldwide, across sectors such as construction, energy, real estate, transport, waste and water management. The benchmark assesses how effectively the private sector is addressing essential urban needs while respecting planetary boundaries. It evaluates companies on several dimensions, such as decent work and human rights practices, environmental and climate impacts, social inclusion and overall sustainability leadership.

The results show clearly how companies are failing to take adequate responsibility for their role in ensuring affordable, safe and inclusive urban environments for all, with the best-performing company scoring just 47.8% of the total score. On average, companies perform better (12.4%) on elements assessing internal changes, such as developing structures, policies and processes than on elements  evaluating their progress in reducing negative impacts or enhancing positive ones (4.5%). While internal changes are an understandable first step, companies need to move beyond these initial efforts to deliver tangible results by actively pursuing sustainable practices throughout their operations. 

Key finding

Companies are taking minimal action to address deadly pollutants that threaten urban public health

Urban populations, especially in megacities, face intense air and noise pollution due to heavy traffic, industrial activities, construction and high levels of waste. Chronic exposure to excessive noise is linked to hearing loss, sleep disturbances, stress and cardiovascular diseases. Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is even more severe, estimated to contribute to nearly 8 million deaths globally in 2023. Given the private sector’s significant contribution to both forms of pollution, it is concerning that only 9 (3%) of the 300 benchmarked companies have reported consistent reductions in key air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur oxides (SOx), and only five reported reductions in PM. In the transport and construction sectors, just 10 of 77 (13%) companies reported actions to mitigate their noise or vibration levels. Companies must face up to their responsibility towards the public health of communities. They should invest in advanced technologies, upgrade to more efficient and less polluting equipment and set up regular monitoring and clear targets to reduce air and noise pollution.

Key finding

Despite billions facing a cost-of-living crisis, affordability does not factor into the sustainability agenda for 75% of urban companies

The world faces a cost-of-living crisis predicted to leave 3 billion people without adequate affordable housing and basic services by 2050. Companies play a direct role in this crisis; in many cities, essential services such as transportation and utilities are privatised, while large real estate developers and builders dominate the market, significantly impacting property prices and availability of affordable housing. Despite this, 75% of the companies score zero on affordability, failing to report, plan ahead or take concrete actions. This affects a large segment of the global urban population. For instance, the 50 energy companies and 30 water companies in the benchmark impact 2.5 billion and 850 million people, respectively. Poor performance is particularly concerning in low- and middle-income regions facing rapid urbanisation, where only 1 in 10 companies operating in these regions takes any steps to address affordability. Affordable housing and services are vital for urban sustainability and should be prioritised by the private sector. Additionally, regulators must establish common reporting standards and enforce stronger regulations to ensure equitable access to housing and basic services for all.

Key finding

Housing and urban service providers are not engaging their key stakeholders: residents and local communities

The biggest urban companies providing housing and key services in 43 megacities – home to over 692 million people – often overlook the very stakeholders most affected by their activities. Over half fail to report any engagement with affected stakeholders. In fact, fewer than 40% of the companies recognise local communities as key stakeholders; only 5% identify tenants or residents as key stakeholders and none acknowledge residents of informal settlements, though this population surpasses 1 billion globally. Moreover, many companies only use one-way communication methods, such as social media and newsletters. With the increasing influence of the private sector in local planning and urban policymaking, this trend brings the risk of exacerbating power imbalances and systemic inequalities. Communities may find themselves marginalised by corporate decisions that profoundly shape their lives and environments. There are no two ways about it – companies must proactively identify, engage with and receive feedback from all affected urban stakeholders, especially the most vulnerable ones.

Key finding

With fewer than 6% of urban companies having set science-based targets to lower greenhouse gas emissions, cities’ net-zero goals are at risk

Cities generate 70% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. At the same time, they hold the potential to lead efforts in climate change mitigation. Many have already set emissions reduction targets to help limit global warming to 1.5°C. Unfortunately, the biggest urban companies are not adequately contributing to this goal, with fewer than 50% of benchmarked companies disclosing their emissions data. In megacities that have 1.5°C-aligned emissions targets, only 6% of companies have had their targets validated by science-based standards. This lack of commitment seriously jeopardises cities' ambitions to meet their net-zero targets. Tackling this challenge requires a two-way approach. Local authorities should integrate decarbonisation performance into their public procurement, licensing and building permit criteria, to encourage companies to perform better. Companies, in turn, must ramp up efforts to report emissions, set science-based targets and swiftly implement low-carbon measures, such as zero-energy buildings and other energy efficiency initiatives.

Key finding

The majority of urban companies operating in low-and middle-income countries lack emergency response strategies, even as the frequency, scale and toll of natural disasters continues to rise

One-third of the world’s urban population lives in cities facing high risk of natural disasters. Nearly 90% of disaster-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, where rapid urbanisation and poor infrastructure heighten vulnerability. Yet, 63% of the urban companies operating in low- and middle-income countries provide no evidence of conducting natural disaster risk assessments. Among those that do, most offer minimal details or only consider climate-related disasters, disregarding other types. Additionally, 69% of companies do not disclose their emergency response and recovery strategies, which is concerning given they are often the main providers of key services in the cities where they operate. In line with the Sendai Framework, companies should integrate disaster risk management and business continuity into their business models and make risk-informed investments. They must conduct thorough risk assessments, create effective emergency response strategies, and collaborate with the public sector to share best practices and non-sensitive data with a view to becoming more disaster resilient.
