  • YKO shows the evidence and how strong it is.
  • Missing paperwork is a gap to close, not a poor result.

Why it is worth doing

Small, steady improvements pay. Here is the evidence.

Products with sustainability claims grew faster

Shoppers reward it. Products with sustainability claims grew faster.

  • US sales, 2017 to June 2022
  • About 600,000 products from 44,000 brands
  • Measures claims, not proof. Beverages saw less effect.

Energy savings start with the bills you already pay

Your first savings are in your own buildings. Your bills show where.

  • ENERGY STAR: buildings and plants often waste 30% or more of their energy.
  • Certified buildings use 35% less on average.

Buyers keep asking, and many suppliers don't answer

51%
Answered 4,005Did not 3,874 (49%)

Big buyers keep asking. About half of suppliers don't answer. Answer clearly and stand out.

Why it matters beyond the business

Nine systems keep the planet stable. Seven are past their limits. Every business that improves helps bring them back.

  • Ozone depletion and aerosol loading remain within safe limits.
