The Standards Council
Made of the world’s leading academic institutions and sustainability experts; the Standards Council deliver the harmonisation and mapping of thousands of metrics from standards, policies, and frameworks, making sustainability reporting literally and acronymically S.I.M.P.L.E (Strategic, Interconnected, Meaningful, Purposeful, Long-term and Educative).
They streamline and standardise sustainability reporting and sector benchmarking for all types of organisations, projects and funds and bring it into line with financial reporting.
They have helped design an impact measurement methodology and an agile data model which aggregate and visualises national and global SDG data to communicate our progress on meeting the goals.
