New digital service makes sustainability work easier
We believe that developing digital services and products that support sustainability efforts for both individuals and businesses is one of the many crucial factors in how successfully we can transition to a more sustainable society.
How we want to make a difference
The shift towards more sustainable business practices has long influenced both the focus and investments within Swedish companies in general and the industry specifically. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are under significant pressure to reduce their negative impact on people and the environment. This pressure aims to increase focus on sustainability and yield positive effects, but very few initiatives have been taken to develop tools or services that simplify the process for companies to become more sustainable. This is where we want to make a difference.
What problem does our product solve?
Our product aims to give SMEs the ability to track and compare their sustainability performance with other similar entities in an intuitive and visual service that encourages learning and action. The service is based on a mix of data sources related to various aspects of sustainability. An important feature is that companies should own and control their data, with usage coordinated so that the same information can be applied to different purposes. By leveraging open and shared data, we can create relevant comparisons that benefit both individual companies and the industry as a whole.
The team behind the service
The startup team consists of experts in data analysis, digital services, business development, and research. Our ambition moving forward is to expand the team with individuals from diverse backgrounds, skills, and professional experiences. Get to know the team better:
