How EKKO score works

An EKKO score is generated when a brand declares (self declared or certified) sustainable aspects of a product. Where the brand declares their products' eco credentials and a score is provided. The EKKO score is independent of any influence such as advertisers or sponsors, and is a tool for customers to help with sustainable purchase decisions. These aspects or criteria include ten different variables:

  1. Energy, utility

  2. Organic, chemical free

  3. Re-cycle or re-marketed

  4. Conservation, environment

  5. Packaging

  6. Place of origin

  7. Artisan

  8. Multi-sector and full cycled

  9. No exploitation

  10. Sharing


The EKKO score is determined via an AI or machine learning algorithm that weighs each category score and certifications, guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This single score (out of 100) is aggregated from the 10 different categories.


Also, there's a traffic light system:

  • 50 or over = Eco Green

  • 20 to 49 = Orange, worth considering

  • under 20 = Red, consider


Information hub

There's loads of articles regarding sustainability information with products, education and industry information.


Find local producers and services

The 'Find Your Local' tool allows you to enter your location, and then identify local makers and service providers in multiple categories. The idea is that by choosing 'local' minimises environmental footprint, strengthen communities, and supports local employment.



Recycling information

The Recycling tool shows you what you can recycle, and where you can recycle that particular product.
