Based on internationally recognised methodology, Sustainability Index allows assessing companies' activities in five areas: business strategy, work environment, market relations, environmental impact and society. Sustainability Index was initiated by the national-level social partners - the Free Trade Union Confederation of Latvia and the Employers' Confederation of Latvia.
