With over ten years at the forefront of trade and sustainability, Whiteshield proudly introduced its first Global Trade Resilience Index (GTRI 2023) on December 7 on the sidelines of COP28. The inaugural launch gathered esteemed government officials, influential figures from international and regional bodies, distinguished academics, and leading private sector voices.

In response to the growing discussions surrounding global trade policy issues and their role in supporting the transition to greener economies, Whiteshield has pioneered an innovative approach to reflect the current state of trade relationships, by product and by partner. We have developed a unique methodology to gauge countries’ capacity to absorb trade shocks in the short term and recover in the medium term. Our goal is to assist countries in achieving their sustainable development objectives by identifying areas for improvement across our 58 GTRI indicators, covering 136 economies.
