Case Study: Benchmark broadens investor base and improves ESG ratings with Donnelley Financial Solutions

How we helped a global manufacturer broaden its investor base

Benchmark, a global manufacturer with $2.26B in 2021 revenue and ~11,000 employees, wanted to broaden its investor base and increase shareholder engagement by leveraging its sustainability and ESG commitments. To do this, Benchmark engaged Donnelley Financial Solutions and adopted its ESG advisory and consulting services, including the ActiveDisclosure and Venue software and SEC filing services to support ESG disclosures.

Donnelley Financial Solutions implemented its proven five-step ESG process—selecting material indicators, peer review, thematic messaging, content creation and infographics—helping Benchmark publish its first Sustainability Report, improve ESG ratings/rankings and attract new institutional investors. D onnelley Financial Solutions continues to support Benchmark’s disclosures and reporting via advisory services, ActiveDisclosure, Venue and SEC filings, delivering measurable improvements in engagement and investor interest.
