Quality. Depth. Evidence.
Our difference in three words.
Speeki Sustainability Score™ is as close to an audit that you will get without an audit.
We are not a believer that a simple auto-scored questionnaire can somehow give comfort that a company has achieved a level of ESG and sustainability expertise.
We also don't believe that a flashy logo stuck on the side of your retail shop is going to show that you have achieved a level of competence around managing ESG and sustainability.
However, we do believe that there is a mix between self-disclosure, interviews, and substantial document reviews that will support an evidence-based ratings and score.

Speeki Sustainability Score™ is an evidence- based solution for ESG and Sustainability
Speeki Sustainability Score™ is an evidence-based solution. Companies undertaking the assessment process must be able to prove their actions. While obtaining their views and aspirations is part of the process, we are focused on a quality analysis of their ESG and sustainability initiatives. Companies seeking a Speeki Sustainability Score™ will need to provide detailed evidence to justify their positions. The Speeki team that assesses the applications for a Speeki Sustainability Score™ will review in detail all the documents being submitted.
We only offer a Speeki Sustainability Score™ to companies that meet a high threshold
Companies need to meet a Speeki Sustainability Score™ threshold before being able to obtain a Speeki Sustainability Score™. Even our lowest score of Speeki Sustainability Score™ Silver is still a very good result.
For companies that don't meet that threshold they have some time to work on their programmes and try again at no cost.
Our focus is to get everyone that applies to our minimum Speeki Sustainability Score™ Silver level for each assessment they take. They can then focus on lifting their Score to the Speeki Sustainability Score™ Platinum level.
What is our difference to a company
'Sustainability Certificaton' ?
Certifications should never be based on self-declarations or cursory glances at documents.
If you want a certification then achieve an ISO certification that means something.
Substance over form is important and the quality of the assessment process is key.
Our focus is to produce the highest quality assessments at an affordable price.
Caution should be exercised about a broad system to assess sustainability across too many topics.
Start off small and build up.
Our people, our approach, our methodology, our questions, our focus on evidence, and our reporting all set us apart in ratings and scoring.
A Speeki Sustainability Score™ adds significant value to your qualification process. It also provides the supplier with a report and scorecard and the ability to see where they need to improve. The supplier is encouraged to improve and resubmit their assessments annually. Speeki Sustainability Score™ is for you as well as your supplier. It gives them direct guidance, answers, and improvement steps.
We have designed our questions to probe companies and to ensure that ESG and sustainability are not just a 'paper strategy' but are embedded into the company and its operations.
We have a scoring model that starts at 50/100. If you are below this level, you need to restart your process a little later. You need to be at least 50/100 to even obtain a basic score.
We have a strong focus on verifying or validating the answers to your questions. We study the documents and rate them as part of our analysis.
We know that for small companies, the costs of ESG and sustainability can be excessive. We have arranged a simple and low pricing model for small companies to get started and tackle these key issues.
You can always sponsor your suppliers to complete one or more of the assessments to give them a head start on their journey.
The team that produces the Speeki Sustainability Score™ takes our role seriously and we take the time to get it right. Our reporting is designed to add value and provide direction and best practices.
We are open on our approach, our methodology and our scoring approach to our users.
Sponsor a supplier and support them to improve their ESG & Sustainability
We recognise that suppliers are often the weakest link in your ecosystem. They need support to improve.
Scorecards are provided for each of the different ESG initiatives completed by the supplier – independent analysis of key ESG risk areas and confidential results, the publication of which you and your supplier control.
Providing a sponsorship model allows you to financially support your suppliers.
New laws like CSDDD will require you to take on additional responsibility and support your suppliers.
If suppliers don't get some support they may never take ESG seriously.
It is more than likely that from a risk perspective, you will be found liable for your suppliers anyway, at least in the eyes of your stakeholders. A little bit of support can go a long way.
Your supplier can get a significant value for little or no cost from your company.
How is a Speeki Sustainability Score™ different from a ratings agency that rates a company's ESG?
Focused areas and topics
A Speeki Sustainability Score™ is not just one 'ESG assessment'. It is 19 different assessments across multiple areas. It breaks ESG and sustainability into separate areas and forms an assessment across specific areas.
Feedback to the supplier is given
Most ratings are simply that. A rating. Speeki Sustainability Score™ is different. Speeki Sustainability Score™ gives something of value to you and the supplier. Some actionable feedback based on expert guidance.
Engagement with the supplier directly
Most ratings agencies never engage with the company. They just scrape the data from the internet and make an automated assessment. Speeki Sustainability Score™ engages with the supplier and works with them to get the most information possible into their assessment.
Not just based on web crawling
Ratings agencies use public data that is on websites. That is not always realistic as most companies do not share this sort of information publicly. Speeki Sustainability Score™ does not scrape information. The assessment is completed, documents uploaded, evidence reviewed and reported upon.
Documentation and evidence based
Speeki Sustainability Score™ involves the review of policies, procedures, stakeholder assessments, dashboards and other information uploaded by the supplier. The Speeki Sustainability Score™ process is documentation based not on hollow boxes ticked on web forms.
Get a scorecard with guidance
Most ratings agencies are driven by their customer subscriber and their ability to materialise revenue from the collected data. The Speeki Sustainability Score™ process is driven on building a better supplier that manages their risk better to reduce your risk and improve the planet.
Public results at your supplier's decision
Speeki does not publish the results of Speeki Sustainability Score™ unless specifically requested by the Supplier on which the assessment was made. It is entirely the supplier's decision.
Expertise in Speeki adds significant value
