That averaging means places of very different sizes can be compared on equal terms: a small authority with highly active companies can outperform a large one, and vice versa.","The UK benchmark is set at 1,000, so Great Yarmouth's composite of 968 puts it just below that national reference point.

On this pillar, its companies are adding staff at a rate broadly in line with, and marginally ahead of, the national average.","Investment covers whether companies have raised equity in the last five years, how much they raised and whether they are first-time raisers. With a score of 904, Great Yarmouth ranks 343rd of 360 authorities and sits 96 points below the UK benchmark. This is the authority's weakest pillar, and equity activity among its companies is notably limited relative to the rest of the UK.","ESG looks at clean energy activity, other green activity, environmental accolades, social and governance signals, and not-for-profit proxies. Great Yarmouth's ESG score of 1,084 is its strongest pillar, placing it 53rd of 361 authorities and 84 points above the UK benchmark.
