Sustainable innovation refers to the development of new products, processes, and practices that meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. According to the UN Global Compact, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 can lead to a thriving planet while unlocking $12 trillion in business opportunities. Companies, therefore, have a significant opportunity to elevate their sustainability goals and take decisive actions to develop disruptive technologies in this space. Understanding sustainable patent innovations can reveal a lot about a company‘s vision.

Mapping patents to the U.N. SDGs: An objective way to measure sustainable innovation We developed a revolutionary way to make sustainable innovation identifiable, searchable, and trackable by mapping the global patent system to the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. By introducing the LexisNexis® PatentSight® SDG mapping, we were the first provider to meet the growing demand from companies for an unbiased sustainability measure, bringing clarity to innovation and inspiring urgent action to meet the planet’s challenges. It has since been used by leading global patent-holding organizations to track and demonstrate their progress towards sustainable technology developments In 2024, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) partnered with LexisNexis to reveal the industries, technologies and companies leading the charge for sustainable innovation.
