Sustainability Maturity Index: Navigating the Evolution
As companies endeavor to integrate sustainability into their operations, decision-makers are increasingly turning to frameworks such as the Sustainability Maturity Index (SMI) to assess their progress and chart a course toward greater resilience and responsibility.
While the journey toward sustainability maturity is multifaceted and nonlinear, the Sustainability Maturity Index serves as a valuable tool for organizations to assess their progress, benchmark against peers, and prioritize actions for continuous improvement.
Inclusion in a mature sustainability index enhances a company’s visibility and credibility. It signals to investors, consumers, and stakeholders that the company is committed to robust sustainability practices and adheres to high standards.
The RB Foundation helps you communicate both, internally and externally, your ESG strategic vision, building towards a customised Sustainability Maturity Index that is relevant to your industry and business.
