Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics are non-financial information used by stakeholders — particularly investors — to assess a company’s sustainability and ethical impact. They cover a firm’s interaction with the planet, its relationship with people and the community, and its corporate leadership. As a publicly listed company, transparency on these issues is critical for Raspberry Pi; investors increasingly use these data points to evaluate businesses’ long-term value, risk, and social license to operate. The absence of ESG reporting is often considered more concerning than poor metrics, as the lack of visibility makes companies seem riskier and less accountable.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics are non-financial information used by stakeholders — particularly investors — to assess a company’s sustainability and ethical impact. They cover a firm’s interaction with the planet, its relationship with people and the community, and its corporate leadership. As a publicly listed company, transparency on these issues is critical for Raspberry Pi; investors increasingly use these data points to evaluate businesses’ long-term value, risk, and social license to operate. The absence of ESG reporting is often considered more concerning than poor metrics, as the lack of visibility makes companies seem riskier and less accountable.
Raspberry Pi’s approach to ESG metrics
While our core mission to democratise technology by providing access to tools and education has always been inherently ESG-positive, our formal reporting on ESG metrics has been somewhat lean since listing on the London Stock Exchange last year.
As a newly listed company, we were awarded the London Stock Exchange’s Green Economy Mark, which recognises that at least 50% of our revenue comes from products and services that have a positive environmental impact. To take this even further, we are improving our reporting process and committing to a more transparent approach, starting with the release of a focused number of ESG metrics** **in our 2025 Annual Report.
The initial set will concentrate on areas we already report on under the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and SECR (streamlined energy and carbon reporting) regulatory frameworks. This will help us to establish a baseline for the future. We can then make more comprehensive disclosures as we come to better understand how to demonstrate the work we do while adhering to our guiding principles for sustainability.
Why ESG reporting is crucial for Raspberry Pi
Formalising our ESG disclosure is vital for several reasons. Firstly, it helps our shareholders gain a clear, evidence-based understanding of the work we do, demonstrating that our commercial success is intrinsically linked to our positive environmental impact. And beyond this, providing this data to the market enables investors, analysts, and customers to quantify and assess the work already being done, whether that’s the energy efficiency of our single-board computers or our efforts to ensure that our manufacturing is as environmentally sustainable as it can be. This increased visibility will generate data that builds trust and strengthens our position in the global technology market.
