To get the most out of your SDG Badges, there are a few tips to take into consideration.
1. Rate carefully 🔎
To earn a badge, rate 30 analyses meeting our quality standards. Consistency matters; your ratings must align with our criteria. Inconsistent and incoherent ratings won't contribute to your certification, thus, keep your reading time and ratings consistent.
2. Rate actively 💡
SDG Badges aim to prioritize active over passive reading. Contextualize your reading, and compare analyses across industries and in scale. This will likely help you achieve consistency, enhance your critical thinking, and cultivate knowledge regarding the SDGs.
3. Take the topics from each SDG into consideration 🤔
Notice that under one SDG there are a variety of topics that you can choose from. If you wish to build skills and learn about specific topics, use the topic selector. For a comprehensive list of topics per SDG, refer to this article.
Disclaimer: Impact topics are a set of social and environmental impacts identified by the Impaakt Team to provide an additional layer of complex insight into measuring current impact. They range from general themes like Greenhouse Gas emissions and Job Creation to industry-specific topics such as Gentrification and Water Pollution. Check our Frameworks section for more information.
4. Enhance your experience with the Knowledge Center 📚
