score4more is a transformation platform to boost sustainability in companies and entire industries. Against this backdrop, we are building a B2B platform powered by AI/ML for change agents and companies. On this platform we interconnect three data areas:
- COMPANIES: We engineer the sustainability data of companies in a company profile and provide data analytics comparison on an industry-specific basis.
- SOLUTIONS: We make sustainable innovations visible and data-accessible. By profiling sustainable solutions with decision-relevant data, we drive technology and knowledge transfer at a global level.
- PEOPLE: We connect and support the change agents - committed to collaborate for sustainable transformation cross-companies
Together with Europe’s leading sustainability recognition, the German Sustainability Award, we have already over 1,000 companies active on the platform with more than 50.000 sustainable actions and solutions as well as 40 GT of company greenhouse gas emissions in scope 1, 2 and 3 as data available. The score4more platform and community continues to grow every day searching for the greatest levers for sustainable transformation:
