    The document discusses measuring societal progress and outlines that progress is multidimensional, meaning different things to different people. It states that to measure progress, one must provide a set of measures across key areas like society, economy and environment, and allow people to apply their own weightings to form their own views of progress. Measures should have a clear good or bad direction and focus on the big picture, discussing trade-offs and relationships between areas. Distributional data is also important to understand how progress is experienced. A few country and company examples are briefly mentioned to illustrate measuring and presenting societal progress.
