English term or phrase: leveraged against
Bonjour à tous,

In January 2015, we conducted our first Culture of Quality Survey with the purpose of assessing the state of our Quality Culture in XXX.
This survey was administered by Corporate Executive Board (CEB) Quality Leadership Council and the results of this survey were leveraged against the other 41 companies who are part of the Quality benchmark database at CEB.

Merci de votre aide.

Explanation:
It's a strange usage. Leveraged is used in Finance, but here it seems to just mean a comparison.
