Valuing non-financial performance:
A European framework for company and investor dialogue

Why these core non-financial drivers?

As part of its mission, the laboratory will underpin its identified core non-financial performance drivers and key metrics with a significant body of evidence of their contribution to financial drivers. We also intend to make the link to relevant ESG factors through company evidence and case studies. This evidence, also a key output of the research programme, will be published in a report in the first half of 2009.

Here are some examples:

• Human Capital
• Employee engagement
• Customer relations
• Partnerships
• Environment
• Innovation
• Corporate governance
• Ethical integrity
