The Social Progress Imperative

The Social Progress Imperative is a global nonprofit based in Washington, DC, providing decision-makers and everyday citizens with the very best data on the social and environmental health of their societies and helping them prioritize actions that accelerate social progress.

Since it first launched in 2014, the Social Progress Index has been embraced by innovative leaders from London to India to the rainforests of Brazil. They are applying its rigorous framework to navigate today’s social challenges and accelerate efforts to drive equitable, inclusive and thriving societies.

Shifting the world’s debates and actions to advance social progress requires resolve, inspiration and investment. Leeds City Council is proud to partner with The Social Progress Imperative and to have worked with them on this first iteration of the Leeds SPI  - and thank them for their for continuing collaboration and support.
