How can a multi-facetted issue, the sustainability of a product, be expressed in a simple numeric value? This is the question everyone asks. Here comes the long and detailed answer.
Each week, we publish updated leaderboards in which products are sorted by sustainability based on their ESG Score, which is calculated with category-specific scoring criteria applied to product-specific sustainability data.
Weekly publishing of updated category rankings & product scores
Points are attributed by applying the category specific scoring criteria to the products' sustainability data profiles.
For each category the highest achieved point sum among the products is identified.
The ESG Score for each product is derived from the percentage of the product's point sum compared to the highest point sum of the category.
The product's point sum equals to 27% of the highest point sum
The product's point sum equals to 56% of the highest point sum
The product's point sum equals to 100% of the highest point sumPlease note: The color code of our labeling shows the top third ESG Scores as green, the middle third as yellow, and the lowest third as red.
ESG Score 100 and rank 1 can result from being the least bad product without being absolutely sustainable. This best-in-class approach has been chosen after intense discussions with independent experts and leading institutes.
