How Verification Works

Our transparent, rules-based ESG scoring system ensures every supplier is assessed fairly. No pay-to-play. No hidden criteria.

The Verification Process

1

Submit Credentials

Suppliers provide their company details, sustainability data, and upload certifications.

2

Automated Assessment

Our rules-based engine evaluates certifications, renewable energy usage, waste recycling, and carbon reporting.

3

Score & Tier Assigned

Each supplier receives an ESG score and tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum) based on verified data.

Continuous Monitoring

Scores are recalculated nightly. Expiring certifications trigger re-assessment and email reminders.
