About the Hinrich Foundation Sustainable Trade Index

The Hinrich Foundation Sustainable Trade Index uses 24 indicators to measure 19 economies in Asia and the U.S. across the three recognized pillars of sustainability: economic growth, social capital and environmental protection. The index measures the readiness of each economy to participate in global trade in a way that creates sustainable growth, encourages foreign direct investment, and attracts funding and support from multilateral development agencies.

The objective of the Index is to stimulate positive thinking about global trade and promote behaviors that will lead to better developmental outcomes, engagement and stability, showcasing best practices and highlighting the needs and expectations of foreign direct investors towards the different Asian economies.

The purpose of the July 11th event is to present the findings of the Hinrich Foundation Sustainable Trade Index as they relate to ASEAN countries and Indonesia and discuss key recommendations for making global trade more sustainable and beneficial for participants.
