This term comes up a lot in a text I'm working on. Although I have found examples of "Synthetic sustainability index", I can only find it in translated texts, so I'm looking for confirmation.
Any other ideas? All help greatly appreciated. Examples similar to the ones in my text:
Metodología para la construcción de un **índice sintético de sostenibilidad** para su aplicación a la sostenibilidad portuaria.
La comunicación tiene como objetivo establecer una propuesta metodológicapara el cálculo de un **índice sintético de sostenibilidad** aplicable al sistema portuario español.
Fruto de ese encuentro nació un **índice sintético de sostenibilidad** que permite disponer de una información agregada y fácilmente comunicable acerca de cómo se posiciona la entidad en relación a sus pares en las distintas materias de Sostenibilidad y RSC.

composite sustainability indicator
I'm cheating a bit here, but having posted a slightly different answer a few minutes ago I saw that the paper my quote came from has been published in English, as indicated below:

Explanation:
Sintético does not come directly from "synthetic" but from "synthesis". What they are saying is that they have combined a series of indexes to form a connected whole.
The following text shows this:
"La sintesis entre el conjunto de indicadores que fueron seleccionados por su capacidad de adelantar determinados puntos críticos y aquel otro subconjunto formado por aquellas variables que, al mismo tiempo, mostraban un poder predictivo significativo, ha permitido seleccionar un total de diez indicadores. De ellos, cuatro son indicadores de precios (el índice de precios industriales de bienes de consumo y de equipo, los índices de valor unitario de las importaciones de bienes de capital, y los precios percibidos por los agricultores), dos aproximan la presión de la demanda (importaciones de bienes y el gasto corriente y de capital del Estada), otro es una variable de costes (incremento salarial fijado en los convenios colectivos) y tres son variables monetarias y
financieras (un agregado monetario estrecho -M2-, el crédito ampliado a
empresas y familias y el tipo de cambio peseta-marco). Una combinación
lineal de estos indicadores con ponderaciones óptimas derivadas de un
análisis de componentes principales forman el indicador sintético
adelantado de la inflación.
Definition: A composite indicator is formed when individual indicators are compiled into a single index, on the basis of an underlying model of the multi-dimensional concept that is being measured.Dec 10, 2004

sustainability index
I don't think you need to translate 'sintético'. That's what an index does - it synthesizes or summarizes.

aggregate [aggregated] sustainability index
I would include "sintético" in the translation. I believe "aggregate" or "aggregated" might be the common equivalent term in English. I have also found "combined sustainability index". It is really hard though to sort out English originals...
For example,
The previous four sub-variables are then be combined into our aggregate sustainability index.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...
In the JRC SusTrans Index each sustainability dimension is represented by the corresponding aggregated sustainability index (e.g. economic transport sustainability index, social transport sustainability index, etc.).
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...
aggregated sustainability index, that can be considered a yardstick for eco-certification purposes
https://www.osti.gov/biblio/21180419-relationship-between-se...
For example, the class 1 sector neutral US Aggregate Sustainability Index will have the same Treasury, government-related, corporate, and securitized sector weights as the flagship US Aggregate Index.

various indicators are aggregated to give economic, social and environmental indices of sustainability, or even a single combined “sustainability” index.

¡Saludos!
There are quite a lot of different contexts where the idea of a "sustainability index" is brought into play - from business enterprises to government to sociology of cultures to ecosystems, and more. Can you tell us a little more about the context you're working in?
