Profit motive is not enough to achieve a healthy society: Report author

The traditional motive of profit is not enough to produce a healthy Irish society. That was the message from Professor Charles MA Clarke of St John’s University today as Social Justice Ireland launched their ‘Measuring progress: Sustainable Progress Index 2019’.

Written by Prof. Charles M.A. Clark of St John’s University, New York and Dr. Catherine Kavanagh of University College Cork, the index compares 15 EU countries across all UN SDGs, assesses their performance on each individual SDG and creates a ranking table for performance overall.
