That makes the index a fair comparison between authorities of very different sizes.","The UK benchmark is set at 1,000, so a score of 952 places Greenwich below the national average across its 20,878 active companies.

That places its companies among the less innovation-active in the country by these measures.","Scaling measures whether companies are scaleups, their headcount growth over recent years and whether they have attended an accelerator. At 961, Greenwich sits 39 points below the UK benchmark and ranks 312th of 360 authorities, with its companies outperforming just 13.3% of other local economies on these growth signals.","Investment covers equity raisers, the value of equity raised and first-time raisers, all within the last five years. With a score of 949, Greenwich ranks 162nd of 360 authorities and outperforms 55.0% of them, making this its strongest pillar and the only one where it sits in the top half nationally, though it still falls 51 points below the UK benchmark.","ESG reflects clean energy activity, other green activity, environmental accolades, social and governance signals, and a not-for-profit proxy. Greenwich scores 959 here, 41 points below the UK benchmark, and ranks 314th of 361 authorities, outperforming 13.0% of local economies.
