Earthmark scores
Our methodology is applied to brands to create simple 1-5 scores making it easy to compare brands side by side.
Conventional
1 out of 5
Business operations are meeting the minimum possible standards.
Effective
2 out of 5
Doing better than average. This includes implementing sustainable practices like recycling and making efforts to reduce emissions.
Sustainable
3 out of 5
Think carbon neutral, or net zero. Practices are in place that mean they’re doing no harm, but they’re not doing good for the environment either.
Accelerating
4 out of 5
Reversing negative impact. Taking ownership of their impact and restoring ecosystems, taking part in reforestation and water and soil stewardship.
Regenerative
5 out of 5
Optimising positive impact and creating a future when human and natural systems co-evolve as one. Examples include regenerative agriculture.
How it works in practice
Jo Bloggs & Co
To help demonstrate how brands can leverage their Earthmarks to drive growth in their business, we've outlined a brief example case.
​
Problem: Growing base of valued consumers and employees demanding transparency about their environmental performance. Uncertainty around how best to share and communicate actions. Ultimately avoid doing so to avoid accusations of greenwashing and lose ground to competitors who are more vocal with their efforts.
Solution: The Joe Bloggs & Co marketing team claim their Earthmark, just as they do for brand reputation through the likes of Trustpilot and Glassdoor. They can then inform their consumers of their Earthmark score and showcase their environmental performance and related data.
