Index Initiative develops benchmarks that aim to encourage industries and companies to enhance their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) closest to their core business. We are a center of expertise that seeks to propel the use of benchmarks to engage companies in delivering on the SDGs. Our purpose is to bring clarity on the role and performance of companies in contributing to the SDGs closest to their core business. We do this by independently and objectively benchmarking the performance of companies against stakeholder expectations. Our research and benchmarks are free and accessible to all.
