It’s time.
Time to Sustain.

The pressure to act is now: within a decade we need to make breakthrough transformations at global scale on many sustainability fronts.

Be it drastically reducing our carbon emissions, transforming from a linear into a circular economy, regenerating our ecosystems, lifting billions out of poverty, ensuring fair standards in supply chains or using digitalization for positive social impact.

“It is abundantly clear that a much deeper, faster and more ambitious response is needed to unleash the social and economic transformation needed to achieve our 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.”

António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General
The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2019

Empower each company to lift up sustainability performance

Company decisions influence majority of sustainability challenges. For example almost 70% of greenhouse gas emissions are related to company decisions.

Still only a small number of companies have systematic processes and tools to improve their sustainability decisions and performance. While investors, customers and the the public are increasingly asking for transparency.

score4more’s 10-times mission is to scale sustainability performance management to the majority of companies in Europe and internationally.
score4more is a sustainability performance improvement solution built on EU compliance reporting standards, allowing companies to report and assess their sustainability performance and use results for continuous improvement and as sustainability passport with investors, customers and the public.

Learn concrete sustainability measures in 5 minutes

Company decisions influence the majority of sustainability challenges. Today in major fields such as climate change, a vast number of best practices is already available, where 20 measures make 80% of the positive impact for a specific company

Still it is very complex for companies to identify what are the company-specific relevant measures in a concrete and actionable way. Search engine results are either to generic, not fitting or too complex information.

twenty4future’s 10-times mission is to drastically simplify and speed up the process, to identify, select and implement relevant sustainability measures for a company along major fields of the transformation.
It allows to identify measure gaps, evaluate measures, make own pledges, share the status with stakeholders, learn from peers having implemented best practices already and to have access to ready-to-use solution provider material for selection process.
