Social Progress The Opportunity The Social Progress Index provides a rigorous understanding of the relationship between economic performance and social progress. It helps prioritization by identifying communities most pressing areas for improvement, absolutely and relatively. It creates a common language across government, business, and civil society to foster collaboration. The Social Progress Index framework can be applied at different scales, offering a granular understanding down to the community level. The Index can be further adapted to explore which industries and conditions are driving or stalling social progress in a given territory. 13
SPI in Action: Adoption by Governments National Paraguay was first county to adopt the Index, using it to define its national development plan and prioritize its $15 billion budget. In Mexico, efforts are underway to develop Indexes for all 32 states and 2,250 municipalities to help governments, private sector and communities define choices and guide social actions. A state-level India index launched in May 2017, in cooperation with the Indian Government, as a tool to advance social progress for the country s 1.2 billion people. Municipal Colombia index created for 10 cities, including Bogota and Medellin, was launched in 2016 and has just been updated. The Rio de Janeiro Index was the first city Index of this size, and has laid the foundation for the development of Indexes for all 5,570 municipalities of Brazil in 2017. Regional The EU Regional Index measures social progress of the 270+ regions of the Europe Union home to 500 million people to help guide $80 billion in regional development aid. 14
SPI in Action: Adoption by Businesses Global corporations, including Coca-Cola, Cargill and Walmart, are rapidly adopting the Social Progress Index to provide critical insights on social priorities in the communities surrounding their facilities and up and down their supply chains. This allows them to make decisions better aligned with their CSR agenda while also furthering their business competitiveness. Several financial institutions and impact investment groups have begun applying the Social Progress Index to drive capital to support social investments, including investment firm Breckinridge Capital Advisors who is using the Index to support analysis of the U.S. municipal bond market. Costa Rica has developed a Social Progress Index for the tourism sector, to inform how investments in tourism can positively impact social progress. 15
