If anyone wants to learn about how our scoring system works, I'm happy to give some info!
@jane_pennoyer1 Happy to hear, how do you crawl and analyze the product ingredients and in which dimensions do you evaluate the scores?
@canberk_ars We use publicly available data on ingredients and certifications to generate product scores that account for impacts to climate, ecosystem, human well-being, raw materials, water, and waste.
@jane_pennoyer1 That is great, do you also validate the available data in some ways? Thanks for the answer.
@canberk_ars We work hard to validate ALL our data. On the product side we gather data from multiple sources, including the manufacturers and retailers, then cross reference the data sets. We never take a brand or manufacturers "word for it" on sustainability. For example, if a brand says they are Leaping Bunny certified, we check that claim directly with Leaping Bunny.
Congrats on the launch, team! Have been looking for a solution like this for honestly more than 10 years. What are the data inputs for the environmental score? Is this score proprietary or do you use universal labels 'certified organic' etc.? Do brands submit these themselves or do you get the data from a third party?
@charmandro Our Finch scores are based on more than 1,000 data points including peer reviewed environmental science, gov literature (the EU's work is especially robust! Thanks EU!), and 3rd party certifications. It is proprietary but also based on existing, validated standards (like organic!). We always verify brand claims with the direct source. So if a brand says it is a B Corp, we cross reference that directly.
Congrats on your Launch! I have a sustainable eCommerce brand in Europe. Are you currently only targeting the US market?
@matthias_strafinger Thanks! Yes, we are currently targeting the US market only, but we will expand to Europe when we have the capacity to do so!
Congratulations on the launch. Tell us about your scoring system. It would be of great help to understand it in a better way.
@amelia_miller3 Thank you!! Our Finch scores are based on more than 1,000 data points including peer reviewed environmental science, gov literature, and 3rd party certifications. Each of these pieces of data are applied to well-established environmental footprint assessment techniques, weighting schemes, and frameworks. We score products on a scale of 0-10 across six environmental footprints: climate, ecosystem, human well-being, raw materials, waste, and water.
