"Who are the sustainability thought leaders you admire or follow?"

For nearly two years, that was the only question we asked thousands of sustainability thought leaders all over the world. Then we compiled the results into a single dataset, narrowing the total to the 500 most admired. 
This dataset serves as the analytical foundation for our Report.
​
​Sustainability is a journey, and these individuals are our guides.
