Measuring sustainability,

the authentic way.

The Sustainable Development Performance Indicators (SDPI) produced by UNRISD measure, in an authentic way, the sustainability performance of economic entities, including both for-profit enterprises and social and solidarity economy organizations. They assess impacts or performance against norms and thresholds that indicate a target consistent with the notion of sustainable development, as well as shed light on ignored or neglected issue areas within current measurement and reporting models. The indicators help users to gain information on genuine impacts or performance of their enterprises and organizations in socioeconomic, governance and environmental areas.

This SDPI Online Platform provides an easy-to-use tool to assess the progress of companies or organizations towards sustainability. It produces an automatically generated report that features trend analysis and allows users to assess impacts or performance in relation to sustainability norms and thresholds. The Platform provides a crucial means to gauge the extent of transformative change towards genuine sustainability.
