If you are an ESG strategy firm dealing with vague sustainability metrics — this project developed a measurement and analytical system that tracks productivity, equality, and environmental health. This allows you to provide clients with evidence-based transition paths.
If you are an impact fund dealing with 'greenwashing' in portfolios — this project developed a way to reconcile productivity with human security and equity. You can use these indicators to verify if an investment truly drives sustainable human development.
