I feel honoured and grateful that the article entitled "LESI’S SDG-IP Index: An Approach To Appraise Effective Sustainability Impact" published in Les Nouvelles - a Licensing Executives Society International (LESI) journal - in October 2023, has been recognised as the Article of the Month.
This article co-authored with Maxime Mathon and with the help of Bruno Vandermeulen Thierry Van Beckhoven Rinaldo Plebani Andreas Zagos and suracha udomsak starts with a historical perspective of what the ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) movement was meant to become, and on the relation between ESG and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). However, while data is perceived as instrumental for addressing SDGs, its current usage, and specifically in ESG ratings, has become controversial and insufficient to address the goals (SDGs) developed by the United Nations. Hence, the development of the LESI’S SDG-IP Index, as desired by LESI's former president Ichiro Nakatomi , required special care when combining IP and SDGs strategies assessment.
