What a rating looks like

The first performance-based rating for manufacturers and retailers

Compared your environmental and social risk performance to your competitors based on the mills and plots you both source from. Ratings are applied to EUDR, NDPE/DCF, Nature. and Social topics and updated every month.

Ratings are visible only to subscribers

The problem

Consumer goods companies often face maximum harm with minimum leverage

  1. Difficult to prioritize alerts. Hundreds of signals a month across hundreds of third-party mills, with no way to tell which matter.

  2. Suppliers deflect. Outside our supply chain, outside the plot boundary, not HCS, and the case is dropped.

  3. Limited leverage. Your risk sits several steps upstream, with companies you do not contract with directly.

  4. Questionnaires reveal little. Expensive consultants submit lengthy questionnaires to your suppliers but evaluate their policies, not their actual performance.

The solution

Ratings tell you which suppliers need attention first.

  • Supplier Ratings

    Every supplier and facility scored and ranked each month, so a long supplier list becomes a short list of names.

    Learn more
  • Mill Ratings

    The third-party mills several steps upstream are rated on the same basis, so you can see where the risk sits.

    Learn more
  • Cases

    One record per issue, with the responsible company, the mill that links it to you, the evidence and the severity.

We never ask your suppliers to complete a questionnaire. Ratings are based on their mill list and our analytics. Learn more

How we stay independent

Every supplier on your list is measured with the same inputs, so a difference in rating is a difference in performance. The same five principles apply to every rating.
