SPI has more than 70 partners in 45 countries.•Designed SPI's strategy in South America, leveraging multi-stakeholder partnerships that positioned SPI tools as a reference to corporate social responsibility (CSR), mainly on forest, mining, and manufacturing industries in Brazil (Klabin S.A., MRN, Fiat-Chrysler, Natura), Peru (Grupo Breca), Chile and Mexico (MASISA).•Inspired and engaged talented researchers in government and universities to produce high integrity and actionable data tools and analysis. •Effectively voiced SPI's strategic vision to diverse audiences, achieving outstanding media coverage in major Latin American media outlets. •Achieved SPI analysis and practical tools incorporation in public policies at all government levels: Municipalities (Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Bogota, Medellin), in the Amazon (State of Para), and in federal governments (Peru, Paraguay).
