The description of your company’s products and services forms the basis of your impact assessment. It is up to you how much detail you provide, but be sure toinclude all the products and services offered by your company for sale. We usually recommend at least one paragraph, but the more detail you provide, the more detailed and accurate our reports can be. You should briefly cover:
What you do, ie. what goods and services you produce
How you do it, in terms of production and operations. You can highlight any production practices you use that might improve your positive impact, or mitigate negative ones.
Who you provide your products and services to too. You can highlight if you reach any underserved communities.
The information you provide in the description is used solely for the purposes of generating your impact assessment. Is not disclosed in your report, and we do no not share it with any third-parties without your permission.
Do’s:
Please provide your description in English
Provide a description of each product or service currently provided by your company
When in doubt, over-explain
Use clear, simple language that does not include acronyms or abbreviations so that it can be accurately interpreted by our algorithm
Don’ts:
Don’t worry about needing specific metrics, like metric tonnes of carbon or kilograms of waste. We don’t need them!
As the description is not visible in your report, don’t worry about making it “pitch perfect.” It should be simple and easy to understand.
Example (short):
Provide this level of detail if you want a good estimation of impact, but don’t have time to write a long description. Provide a summary of your business and list your goods and services.

Example (longer):
Provide this level of detail if you want the report to capture all your products and services, big and small, to generate more specific recommendations on how to increase your impact or minimise risk.
