The A–Z Leaderboard provides a simple way to quantify the positive sustainability initiatives around the world. Each is assessed across environmental, social and economic areas to create an overall Sustainability A-Z score. The aim isn’t to find the “most sustainable” country, but to highlight what’s working, compare approaches and see what we can learn.
