The Genuine Progress Index Pacific Society (GPI Pacific)
is a provincial non-profit research and public education group
established in 2002 to develop and popularize a broad-based index of
sustainable development and well-being: the Genuine Progress Index.
In
the past seven years members of the Society have participated in
workshops, research projects, and other related activities. Our network
includes 200+ individuals and organizations from government,
non-profit, academic, and other sectors |
|
|
Our Vision |
|
| |
Our
Vision is to see public policy decision-making in British Columbia
based on an integrated perspective that values social, economic, and
environmental concerns equally. The Genuine Progress Index model
provides a powerful tool for measuring and valuing defined social,
economic and environmental factors within an ecological framework. GPI
Pacific acts to reframe the debate regarding a healthy and desirable
society. |

Our Goals
- design, develop and publish a Genuine Progress Index for British Columbia;
- initiate
broad engagement and dialogue with socio-economic groups, experts and
communities on individual indicators and priorities;
- raise awareness of, and foster broad-based support for, the Genuine Progress concept and application;
- influence policy issues in the public, private and voluntary sectors; and
- strengthen our administrative and governance capacity to develop a stable, financially viable, and well-run organization.

Our main project for 2009 was a five-part Speaker Series to accomplish two objectives:
- To
increase awareness and capacity among a range of audiences about
alternative measures of economic well-being, as compared to strictly
financial bottom-line methods
- To grow the membership in the Society and increase participation as directors and committee members

The
Series was funded mainly by Coast Capital Savings. Collaborating
community groups, agencies, stakeholders or individuals also involved
include:
- SFU Centre for Sustainable Community Development
- Emily Carr University
- UBC 2010 Olympics Impact Study
- SPARC of BC
