Learn about the company that enables sustainable procurement of standard products.
Organizations are constantly buying standard products: IT supplies, office chairs, adhesive tape, protective gloves, you name it. This has to happen quickly. They can't spend a lot of time comparing the sustainability of, say, 500 different available keyboards. Thus, they need a normed cross-category labelling that allows to sort products by sustainability degree.
ESG Score provides this labelling. This is our contribution to societies' sustainability transformation and our ESG Score is all about making it as easy as pie for everyone to choose sustainable products.
Please know: Standard products may sound unimportant, but the volumes and associated impact are enormous. For example, our customer Siemens spends more than three billion euros on such products. Every year.
