Environment Payment Trends: 2021 vs 2022
Environment Sector Payment Practices Edge Up Marginally: Average Score Rises From 63.2 to 64.0
The Comparison
Here’s a snapshot comparing payment practices within the environment sector across two years:
- Companies Analyzed (2021): 124
- Average Payment Score (2021): 63.2/100
- Companies Analyzed (2022): 120
- Average Payment Score (2022): 64.0/100
What This Means
The data reveals a minimal improvement in payment performance within the environment sector between 2021 and 2022, indicated by a modest increase of 0.8 points in the average score. This suggests that while companies, on average, are incrementally better at managing payments, the change is not substantial, and areas for significant improvement likely remain. A reduction in the number of companies assessed from 124 to 120 may reflect market consolidation, exits, or changes in sampling methods, so the comparison should be viewed cautiously.
