Future City ESG Innovation Index

SUMMARY

Developed by specialist consultancy DEEP Ecosystemsa new index highlights the capacity of cities and their innovation ecosystems to deploy Corporate Social Responsibility solutions. These "start-ups" are developing innovations in the environmental sector (decarbonization of industry, circular economy, "clean" energies...), in the social field (education, training, health...) and in governance (e-government, public transport, smart cities...).

These sectors represent an opportunity for development, as demand accelerates for solutions for the transition to a greener, more sustainable economy. The report highlights that $60 billion has been invested in startups focused on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria across more than 100 European cities since 2018. This trajectory is set to continue, against a backdrop of multiple crises (climate, energy, health and social).
