The Hinrich-IMD Sustainable Trade Index (STI) evaluates the ability of 30 global trading economies to engage sustainably in trade using 72 economic, social, and environmental indicators. The 2024 Index emphasizes the need for building resilience in trade, human, and natural resources amid global trade fragmentation and highlights the significant strides some trading nations have made towards sustainable trade while identifying areas where improvement is essential.
About the STI 2024
