‘Sustainable’ and similar words referring to products and services being environmentally friendly are increasingly being used by brands, albeit without an objective measurement of their impact. This is a difficult task because of a myriad of factors, including complex supply chains, lack of data transparency, physical variability, lifecycle unpredictability, lack of standardization, data gaps, resource availability and more. The result is a lack of a trustworthy barometer for customers to reliably make environmentally sustainable purchasing decisions. 

Periva aims to address through its evolving framework for the measurement of environmental impact for every product across various metrics, based on benchmarks from the EPA, EU and other organizations explained in detail here. 

Then, Periva diligently records various metrics for each product in the marketplace. The result is a live report of the environmental impact for each product, their seller, customers who purchase them, geography and more.
