Document summary

In early 2018 Trucost embarked on a journey with multiple companies, supported by an advisory panel of investment professionals, interest group representatives, and academics to develop a holistic set of SDG metrics that would provide market participants with the data transparency needed to accelerate progress on SDGs. These metrics encompassed the entire corporate value chain, from raw material inputs to product use and disposal, within the context of a company’s geographic operations. This summary report charts the initial results of this ground breaking experiment.
