For businesses

Asked to prove your business is sustainable?

Tenders, customer questionnaires and big clients all want evidence. Get an independent sustainability score you can send with your answers. It's free. You can send us new evidence, free, to get credit for what you already do.

Your score will be published on its own page, with every source. Most small businesses start low because little about them is online. That's normal, and you can improve it.

Questions

Common questions.

Will tender buyers accept it?

Buyers can use it as independent supporting evidence. It shows your score, how it was worked out and every source behind it, so they can check it themselves. It does not replace ISO 14001 or any other standard a tender asks for by name. If a tender requires one, you still need it.

Is this a certificate?

No. It is an independent score with its sources shown. Anyone can open your score page and see the evidence behind each answer. Nobody is approving your business. We are scoring it, in public, the same way as every other business.

Can my score go down if I send new evidence?

Yes. We use what the evidence shows, whichever way it points. A score that could only go up would be worth nothing, to you or to the people you send it to. Every change is logged on your page with the reason.

Why should anyone trust the score?

Nobody pays to be scored, and nobody can pay to change a score. The ten questions are public and apply to everyone. Every change is logged on the score page. Anyone can send new evidence or challenge a score for free.

We're a small business. Will we score badly because we haven't published a sustainability report?

You might, at first. That shows a gap in what's published. It says nothing on its own about what you do. A 50-person manufacturer can run a careful operation and still score 25 because none of it is written down publicly. So publish what you do, on your own website for example, and send us the link. It's free, and if it holds up your score changes.

How long does it take?

Your free score: Published within 5 working days, or we email you to say why. We email you when it's live. New evidence you send us is checked in the same review as everyone's.

Can I see example scores first?

Yes. Every business we score has a public page with all ten questions, the reasoning and the sources. Browse the leaderboard, or type a business name above.
