NEW YORK, July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis® Legal & Professional, the leading provider of intelligent patent analytics, recognizes the businesses driving environmental and social progress in “Exploring the Global Sustainable Innovation Landscape: The Top 100 Companies and Beyond.” This first-of-its-kind report ranks companies according to the potential of their patent portfolios to advance innovation toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As 80 percent of technical information is published only in patents, the report leverages the LexisNexis® PatentSight® analytics platform to objectively map global patent data to targets and progress indicators for the SDGs. Samsung, Johnson & Johnson, Toyota Motor, Qualcomm, and LG Chem are named the world’s top corporate owners of patents that address the SDGs, while the United States leads among countries in the number of patent holders, followed by Japan, China, and Germany.
The rising trajectory and value of sustainable innovation
By mapping SDG indicators to patent data, LexisNexis has developed a new, transparent framework for evaluating the potential for innovation to accelerate sustainable impact.
“In the face of crises and an ever-evolving pandemic, our greatest hope lies in the power of innovation,” said Marco Richter, Head of Global Customer Success, LexisNexis® Intellectual Property Solutions. “As more businesses heed the call to develop new solutions, we need objective methods for evaluating these contributions and identifying those making the most progress. Exploring the Global Sustainable Innovation Landscape showcases the power of patent analytics to monitor and promote progress on some of the landmark challenges of our time.”
“With the release of Global Leaders in Sustainable Innovation report, LexisNexis introduces a new standard of excellence for responsible and sustainable business. Philips’ high ranking in the report is a reflection of our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. As a responsible leader in health technology, we have defined a clear purpose that guides everything we do to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation. By objectively mapping patents to the SDGs and ranking SDG-related corporate patent portfolios by strength, the Global Leaders in Sustainable Innovation report identifies companies like ours that are building a healthier, prosperous, and more sustainable world.” said Marnix van Ginneken, Chief ESG and Legal Officer at Royal Philips.

The patent system empowers companies to place bets on new solutions, recognizing that breakthrough innovations can rapidly advance progress toward the Goals. Taken together, SDG indicators and patent data provide a uniquely data-based perspective on the future of environmentally responsible, inclusive innovation.
