About the Sustainability Mindset Indicator (SMI)
The Sustainability Mindset Indicator (SMI) is a pioneering assessment tool designed to map and profile an individual’s journey towards adopting a Sustainability Mindset.
Available in 5 languages. English, French, Spanish, German and Indonesian.
The Indicator is programmed by Innove Technologies Pte Ltd, Singapore.
What is the Sustainability Mindset Indicator?
Grounded on extensive research and collaboration, the SMI explores three critical dimensions of mindset: cognitive, behavioral, and affective. It offers personalized insights and practical resources to foster sustainable thinking and action. By utilizing the SMI, a participant is taking a significant step towards cultivating a mindset that can drive transformative change in our world.
In a world facing urgent environmental and social challenges, developing a Sustainability Mindset is essential for creating meaningful and lasting change. By fostering intrinsic motivation and empowerment, our approach accelerates meaningful behavioral change, leading individuals to engage in less self-centered actions, impacting the greater good. We offer guidance and support to educators, coaches, and system influencers in incorporating the SMI into their practices. By doing so we empower them to become change agents, helping others bridge the awareness of external challenges with their personal inner dimensions — the mindset.
