All susGain businesses actively work on reducing their impact on the environment and have committed to do even more!
In order to be listed on susGain, a business must fulfill both of these conditions:
Minimum 1 Sustainability Badge
Sustainability Pledge
SusGain has developed a simple framework. We use this guideline in order to identify and evaluate the businesses’ activities which have a positive ecological and social impact.
Our framework is based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It consists of eight badge categories. Businesses can choose in each category, from a list of concrete measures that their organisation can adopt to contribute to the overall sustainability goals.
Most importantly, a business receives a sustainability badge only if it makes a verifiable contribution to at least one measure in any category.
In addition, we strive together with businesses to reduce their environmental footprint even further. We re-award our badges on a biennial basis to reinforce their commitment.
The Sustainability Pledge is the commitment that a business makes towards improving its sustainability practices. The pledge must include tangible actions that can be implemented by the business within a 2-year time frame.
