The AIChE Sustainability Index was developed by engineering and scientific experts for both engineering and scientific experts and enterprise managers. Unlike other indices, the AIChE Sustainability Index benchmarks well-defined performance metrics and indicators, including SH&E performance, innovation, and societal measures.

The metrics are based on over 30 sources of public data and allow companies to measure their efforts at the company and sector level. It factors technology and innovation into performance data and enables a company to:

• Benchmark performance among peers
• Assess your performance against well-defined metrics on an on-going basis
• Measure progress towards best practices at regular intervals
• Assess unbiased, expert interpretation of publicly available data
• Better understand public perception of your company's sustainability efforts
