The index provides the most comprehensive view on the sustainability performance of supply chains around the world. It analyzes data from 65,000 assessments of more than 40,000 companies across nine industry sectors, five geographic regions and four assessment themes: environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement (which goes beyond a company’s own performance to measure how well they are addressing key sustainability issues within their supply chain).
