Greenifyd Index

The Greenifyd Index is an independently developed sustainability rating system designed to assess and communicate a brand’s environmental and ethical performance using publicly available and verifiable information. Its core objective is to empower consumers with transparent insights and to support businesses in building trust through evidence-based sustainability commitments.

This initiative forms a foundational component of the Greenifyd platform, reflecting our mission to improve sustainability transparency and recognition for eco-conscious brands.

 

Scoring Model Overview

Brands are assigned a score out of 100, segmented into five tiers:

  • ■■■■■ (90–100): Sustainability Champion

  • ■■■■ (75–89): Leader in Sustainability

  • ■■■ (50–74): Making Sustainable Progress

  • ■■ (30–49): Needs Improvement

  • ■ (0–29): Low Sustainability Signal

These categories help consumers quickly understand the relative strength of a brand’s sustainability performance.

3. Key Categories Assessed

The Greenifyd Index draws from a set of common, widely recognised ESG-aligned categories:

  • Sustainability certifications and standards (e.g. B Corp, Fair Trade, Climate Active)

  • Product and packaging sustainability indicators

  • Transparency around sourcing and supply chain practices

  • Public carbon disclosures and climate targets

  • Stated sustainability mission and pledges

  • Customer sentiment and third-party reviews

  • Public reputation and compliance/regulatory history

4. Data Sources

Greenifyd relies exclusively on public and verifiable data, including:

  • Brand websites and official sustainability reports

  • Accreditation databases and certification registries

  • Independent audit summaries (where available)

  • Third-party sustainability databases

  • Aggregated customer reviews

  • Media and regulatory mentions

Brands are not required to submit information to be included in the index, but may request a review or provide clarifications.

5. Methodology (MVP Stage)

Our MVP implementation of the Greenifyd Index combines:

  • A structured evaluation rubric across the above categories

  • AI-powered tools to support keyword and sentiment extraction

  • Manual validation of scoring inputs by our internal team

  • Foundational scoring logic developed in consultation with sustainability researchers and ESG practitioners

As the MVP progresses, we will continue to refine category weightings, automate scoring pipelines, and improve robustness.

Note: While this public summary outlines our core framework, the exact scoring logic, weightings, and aggregation methods remain proprietary and are considered part of Greenifyd’s intellectual property.
