How does it work?
The BP e-commerce module is powered by the Global Sustainable Enterprise System (GSES). It provides customers with data regarding the sustainability of the product, service or brand (Appendix, Table 1). This data is verified at standard level (Figure 1), Blue Planet e-commerce module facilitates an in-depth vendor dashboard for organizations.
Additionally, the module facilitates standardized visualizations of the ratings per brand, service and/or product. Also, the standardized visualizations will be validated by external audits. This visualization will be a five Blue Planets rating system. The Blue Planets ratings are measured based on the GSES Meta Standard, which aligns more than 150 certifications and labels based on international accepted guidelines and standards.
