Social Responsibility Trends Thematic Report Overview

This could be attributed to the high fertility rates and decreasing infant mortality rates in the country. There were many social issues coming under the spotlight in 2022 creating pressure on companies to act on social responsibility, which looks at a company’s engagement with its workers, customers, suppliers, and the local community.

Social Responsibility Trends by Sectors

The key sectors analysed for social responsibility trends are aerospace & defense, agriculture, automotive, banking, construction, consumer goods, foodservice, healthcare, insurance, mining, oil & gas, power, retail & apparel, sport, technology, media, & telecom, and travel & tourism.

Aerospace and Defense

Social media conversations on social responsibility in the A&D industry witnessed more than 11% decline in Q3 2022 over the previous quarter. The US, the UK, Germany, France, India are the top countries hiring in social responsibility in aerospace & defense. The US is hiring the most ‘social’ roles in aerospace & defense, followed by India.

Diversity & welfare and ethical investment are expected to have high impact on social responsibility theme performance in the A&D sector. Due to the potential global recession, recruitment within the industry will be highly competitive. However, defense procurement can be somewhat recession-proof as procurement plans can span decades. In the long term expect, more industrial and government programs will remove barriers to entry to the industry.

Our thematic scorecard ranks companies within a sector based on overall leadership in the ten themes that matter most to their industry, generating a leading indicator of future performance.

Agricultural Sector

Competition for land between agricultural, social, and industrial is contributing to soaring land prices which has lured many agricultural owners to sell their land for non-agricultural purposes. In addition, urbanization and rural population decline are continuing trends. However, technology is expected to play a critical role in overcoming these challenges and boosting agricultural productivity.  For example, urban agriculture (where farming systems are located within or close to urban environments) is one solution and has the additional benefit of reducing carbon emissions by minimizing food miles. The adoption of autonomous and semi-autonomous field robots, particularly in large-scale commercial agriculture, will gradually increase to reduce dependence on human labor.

The US, Canada, Netherlands, Brazil, and China are the major countries hiring in social responsibility in agriculture. The US is hiring the most for social roles in agriculture followed by Canada.

Automotive Sector:

The automotive sector is facing continuous pressure from consumers and investors around sustainable and ethical manufacturing. The electrification of the automotive industry has caused an increasing amount of concern around the sustainable sourcing of new materials. Consumers and investors have an expectation that automotive manufacturing will source minerals, such as cobalt or lithium, through ethical channels which do not employ problematic or dangerous labor practices while also avoiding severe environmental impacts from greatly expanded material production.

Social media conversations on social responsibility in the automotive industry witnessed more than 6% fall in Q3 2022 over the previous quarter. Electric vehicles, health & safety, and the government were key discussion trends.

The key countries hiring in social responsibility in automotive are the US, Thailand, Germany, India, China. The US is hiring the most for ‘social’ roles in automotive followed by Germany.

Banking Sector:

Social media conversations on social responsibility in the banking & payments industry fell by more than 10% in Q3 2022 versus the previous quarter. However, the rise in social media conversations in June was led by the group of human rights activists who submitted an open letter to the US Congress, in support of responsible crypto policy praising Bitcoin and stablecoins as essential tools aiding democracy and freedom.

The combined impact of inflationary and recessionary pressures will intensify various types of financial exclusion, whether it be marginalized economic groups unable to obtain emergency financing, or mass market consumers receiving insufficient support with budgeting and money management. These issues will be particularly acute for young, early-stage SMEs vulnerable to business failure under deteriorating economic conditions, having already received the limit of government lending through COVID loans.

The key countries hiring in social responsibility in banking are the US, India, Poland, Canada, and the UK. The US is hiring the most for ‘social’ roles in banking followed by the UK.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
