Explore the measurements and assumptions behind
the Composite Sustainability Index.
A public research resource
The Composite Sustainability Index (CSI) brings together 9 benchmarks covering animal agriculture and consumer transition across 19 G20 sovereign countries. Unpenned Data publishes the methods, source context and verification records that explain the index. Each record keeps its original evidence status. A current reading is shown only when a complete accepted release is available. Historical material remains accessible for examination. Start with a benchmark, trace its sources, or follow the reproduction instructions to examine how a recorded result was produced.

Reading the index
within its limits.
The CSI measures a defined set of pressures and transition signals. It does not represent every dimension of sustainability. Historical and diagnostic outputs retain their original status, and a missing accepted release is shown as unavailable.
