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.

About Measure What Matters

Measure What Matters (MWM) is a partnership between the Green Economy Coalition (GEC), Accounting For Sustainability (A4S), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI).

MWM's mission is to bring greater alignment between corporate, national, and global actors in order to better measure 'progress', using the health of our planet and the wellbeing of people as the yardstick rather than Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or profit alone.

Over the last three years MWM has conducted research and convened dialogues that have brought together national statistical agencies, the private sector, civil society organizations, academics, accountancy bodies, United Nations agencies, and government to integrate sustainability Goals into decision making.
