a sustainability rating system for brands

4sustainability® s a sustainability rating system that brands can apply across their production supply chains, integrating it with existing internal assessment systems. The system is supported by Ympact, the IT platform developed to optimise sustainability performance monitoring throughout the supply chain.

what the rating system enables brands to do

  • gain detailed visibility and control over their supply chain and implemented social and environmental initiatives
  • assess, monitor and improve production conditions from a sustainability perspective
  • ensure full business traceability
  • build transparent and collaborative relationships with suppliers, developing high-innovation projects with significant efficiency and cost-optimisation benefits

application fields

The system is modular and can be applied to all the initiatives of the 4sustainability roadmap (MATERIALS, CHEM, TRACE, PEOPLE, PLANET, RECYCLE) or to the one/s on which the brand wants to specifically measure its supply chain.

An added value is the training journey to be developed according to the brand’s needs as an introduction of its resources and / or those of the supply chain to the main issues of sustainability or as specific training on product development or, again, as retail training.
