Where the evidence comes from. What a brand has published, and what it chooses to add.

  1. 01

    Automated data collection

    We gather all public data on the brand: website, certificates, reports and policies etc.

  2. 02

    Scored on one methodology

    Every data point is scored with the same methodology, and each point links to its evidence.

  3. 03

    Verified by a sustainability expert

    An analyst checks every score against its evidence before it is confirmed.

  4. 04

    Brands can add their own data

    Brands can share information that isn't public and enrich their score.

How it is scored. Quality counts for more than coverage.

One answer

Every answer has a quality level.

Every question has a set of possible answers. The more advanced the practice behind an answer, the more it counts.

  • Five levels, from Great to Poor
  • Nothing published is recorded as no data
  • The same questions for a brand of any size
Quality of sustainability work

A brand's points, by how strong the work behind them is.

Two brands can earn the same points very differently: one with a lot of adequate information, the other with less at the highest level. Stronger answers count for more, so depth of work counts for more than breadth.

  • Great
  • Good
  • Fair
  • Weak
  • Poor
  • Not earned
  • No data
Sustainability score

Out of 100, in tiers 20 points wide.

The quality of sustainability work, weighted and put on one scale. Each category is also reported on its own, as a share of the points available in it.

0Poor
20Weak
40Fair
60Good
80100Great

Certificates. Counted when the register ties them to the brand.

A name match is not enough. A certificate counts when its register entry matches the brand's website, licence number or parent company.

It stops counting the day it lapses.
