Simple. Sustainable. Procurement.
Standard products like adhesive tapes, computers, garbage bags, office chairs, and protective gloves are bought millions of times every year. Often with the choice between hundreds, even thousands of similar looking items at every transaction.
And while - in digital catalogs - buyers can sort and filter the products by size, color, price, delivery time and more, one vital aspect has been missing: the sustainability of each product.
It is far too costly for both companies and public authorities to create sustainability benchmarks for standard products. Yet the world wants them to procure sustainable products in this area.
So we made it our mission to find a solution.
Now, by integrating ESG Score into their procurement processes, buyers can immediately identify and compare the sustainability of standard products.
Our product scoring system follows state-of-the-art science. It is also regularly reviewed by leading researchers and institutes.
