S-BAR Sustainable Business Achievments Ratings

Overview Sustainable Business Achievement Ratings (S-BAR) is the first comprehensive system with a market-based, broadly applicable, and transparent means of assessing a company’s environmental, economic and social performance. With no standards for what constitutes a “sustainable business”, companies have no consistent set of benchmarks to determine how good is “good enough” when it comes to customer and stakeholder expectations. Customers -- businesses, government agencies, and consumers -- face a daunting patchwork of unregulated and inconsistent claims about companies’ environmental and social performance. The result is that customers are wary and confused, and companies are unclear as to which are the “right” actions to take.
