Target 17.19: Measures of progress beyond GDP
By 2030, build on existing initiatives to develop measurements of progress on sustainable development that complement gross domestic product, and support statistical capacity-building in developing countries
This moves without owners. Other levers carry it.
Why shareholder democracy is independent
Beyond-GDP measurement is an intergovernmental and academic agenda run through the UN statistical system, and the UNSDG Report tracks it alongside statistical capacity funding. We found no corporate conduct or lobbying that determines whether such measures are developed, no shareholder resolution on the subject, and thus no corporate or lobbying lever for this target.
How this was scoredIndependent
Independent. This moves without owners. Other levers carry it.
We have not yet written down the two answers behind this rating. Recording them on every item, so a reader can check the reasoning and not only the conclusion, is work in progress.
Every rating is the higher of two answers, one for what companies do and one for what they spend to stop the outcome, because the same vote reaches both. See the full method.
Sources
No shareholder advocacy found yet
We looked and found nothing that met our standard, which is a source we opened and confirmed. Beyond-GDP measurement is an intergovernmental and academic agenda run through the UN statistical system. No ownership-based advocacy located.
How this rating was made
Every item on every one of our maps is read against one question: how far does this depend on the people who own companies voting their values? We answer it twice, once for what companies do and once for what they spend to stop the outcome, and take whichever answer is higher, since the same vote reaches both. The score carries its reasoning and its sources so that a reader can check it rather than take it.
- Pivotal. Owners voting their values can deliver most of the outcome.
- Necessary. Owners remove an obstacle nothing else removes, and others must also act.
- Helpful. Owners voting their values help, and others carry most of it.
- Independent. This moves without owners. Other levers carry it.
The advocacy record on this page holds only what a source we opened says happened. Where we searched and found nothing, the page says so rather than leaving a silence. Where a campaign names a filer the source does not name, it says that too. Ratings are ours; the list of subjects is UN Sustainable Development Goals's, and we link to their original.
