Global Goals That Work
Over the last decade, there has been a proliferation of sustainability indexes and frameworks. This report attempts to bring greater alignment between actors and better ways to measure progress using our planet's health and people's well-being as the yardstick, rather than Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or profit alone. Read the report to learn how sustainability is measured at government, business, and societal levels, and how it can be aligned to the triple bottom line (people, planet, profit) and the SDGs.
Developing shared metrics
Understanding the connections between sustainability metrics - corporate, national, and global - and across borders will be an ongoing process. Governments have an opportunity to lead the process but it is a project for everyone. All organizations can start from a similar set of questions:
Business & Investment Community
- Industry regulators
- Business big, small and multinational
- Professional bodies
- Shareholders and investors
- Supply chain actors
Government
- Development practitioners
- Government departments
- National statistical agencies
Civil Society Organizations
- NGOs
- Research institutes
- Civil society
- Poor groups
- Informal economy groups
