Economist Impact launches The Sustainability Project

LONDON, Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Economist Impact, a new business within The Economist Group, today announced the launch of The Sustainability Project, a new content and community platform designed to accelerate sustainability solutions and drive world-changing impact: economistimpact.com/sustainability. Economist Impact is designed to catalyse growth and empower progress in the world through a combination of policy research, creative innovation and influence by working with leading organisations, NGOs, governments and foundations.

Claudia Malley, President/Managing Director partnerships, Economist Impact said, "We are working through a critical time in our world which is why we are investing in this new content and community platform. We believe that Economist Impact can put the global spotlight on the most important issues around sustainability and elevate critical policy research, insights and partner work, not only to inform the discourse, but to convene the right community of leaders necessary for creating a sustainable future." 

Ashiss Kumar Dash, EVP and Segment Head - services, utilities, resources, energy at Infosys, emphasized "As the digital innovation partner of Economist Impact's The Sustainability Project, Infosys will bring its digital services and capabilities to create an innovative experience that will contextualize the important issues and facilitate solutions-based thinking in order to set the agenda for global sustainability transformation. In a rapidly transforming world, such a dynamic project will bring stakeholders in the sustainability journey closer to the positive change our environment desperately needs".

Economist Impact and Infosys will continue to build upon the dynamic framework for The Sustainability Project including new interactive tools and community features that will enable convening and collaboration. This will include the development of a suite of participant services that will allow users to connect on solution-based discussions.
