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 do not believe that a simple auto-scored questionnaire can provide reassurance that a company has achieved a certain level of ESG and Sustainability expertise.
Similarly, we are not convinced that a flashy logo displayed on your retail shop signifies competence in managing ESG and Sustainability.
However, we firmly believe in a balanced approach that combines self-disclosure, interviews, and thorough document reviews to support an evidence-based rating and score.

Speeki Sustainability Score™ is an evidence- based solution for ESG and Sustainability
The Speeki Sustainability Score™ is an evidence-based solution. Companies undertaking the assessment process must be able to substantiate their actions. While gathering their views and aspirations is part of the process, our focus is on a thorough 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 responsible for assessing the applications will conduct a comprehensive review of all submitted documents.
We only offer a Speeki Sustainability Score™ to companies that meet a high threshold
Companies must meet a threshold to obtain a Speeki Sustainability Score™. Even our lowest score, the Speeki Sustainability Score™ Silver, is still a commendable result. For companies that do not meet this threshold, there is an opportunity to improve their programmes and reapply at no cost.
Our focus is to help all applicants achieve the minimum Speeki Sustainability Score™ Silver level for each assessment they undertake. From there, they can work towards elevating their score to the Speeki Sustainability Score™ Platinum level.
What is our difference from a company offering
'Sustainability Certification'?
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 distinguish us in ratings and scoring.
A Speeki Sustainability Score™ adds significant value to your qualification process. It also provides the supplier with a comprehensive report and scorecard, highlighting areas for improvement. Suppliers are encouraged to enhance their practices and resubmit their assessments annually. The Speeki Sustainability Score™ benefits both you and your supplier by offering direct guidance, actionable answers, and clear improvement steps.
We have designed our questions to effectively probe companies, ensuring that ESG and Sustainability are not merely a 'paper strategy' but are truly embedded within the company and its operations.
Our scoring model starts at 50/100. If your score falls below this level, you will need to restart your process at a later date. You must achieve at least 50/100 to obtain a basic score.
We place a strong emphasis on verifying and validating the answers provided. Our analysis involves a thorough examination of the submitted documents, which we rate as part of our evaluation process.
We understand that the costs associated with ESG and Sustainability can be excessive for small companies. Therefore, we have established a simple and affordable pricing model to help these businesses get started and address these critical issues.
You can sponsor your suppliers to complete one or more assessments, giving them a head start on their sustainability journey.
The team responsible for producing the Speeki Sustainability Score™ takes this role seriously and dedicates the time necessary to ensure accuracy. Our reporting is designed to add value, providing direction and outlining best practices.
We are open about our approach, methodology, and scoring system, ensuring transparency for all our users.
Sponsor a supplier and support them to improve their ESG and Sustainability
We recognise that suppliers are often the weakest link in your ecosystem and need support to improve.
Scorecards are provided for each of the different ESG initiatives completed by the supplier—offering 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, such as CSDDD, will require you to take on additional responsibilities and support your suppliers.
If suppliers don’t receive support, they may never take ESG seriously.
From a risk perspective, it is likely that you will be held liable for your suppliers' actions in the eyes of your stakeholders. A little support can go a long way.
Your supplier can derive 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 comprises 19 different assessments across multiple areas. It breaks ESG and Sustainability into separate components and forms an assessment based on these specific areas.
Feedback to the supplier is given
Most ratings are simply that: a rating. The Speeki Sustainability Score™ is different; it provides something of value to both you and the supplier – actionable feedback based on expert guidance.
Engagement with the supplier directly
Most ratings agencies never engage with the company; they just scrape data from the internet and make an automated assessment. The Speeki Sustainability Score™ engages with the supplier, working closely with them to gather the most information possible for their assessment.
Not just based on web crawling
Ratings agencies rely on public data available on websites, which is not always realistic since most companies do not share this kind of information publicly. The Speeki Sustainability Score™ does not scrape information; the assessment is completed, documents are uploaded, and evidence is reviewed and reported upon.
Documentation and evidence-based
The Speeki Sustainability Score™ involves reviewing policies, procedures, stakeholder assessments, dashboards, and other information uploaded by the supplier. The Speeki Sustainability Score™ process is documentation-based, not merely relying on hollow boxes ticked on web forms.
Get a scorecard with guidance
Most ratings agencies are driven by their customer subscriptions and their ability to generate revenue from the collected data. The Speeki Sustainability Score™ process is focused on building better suppliers who manage their risks more effectively to reduce your risk and improve the planet.
Public results at your supplier's decision
Speeki does not publish the results of the Speeki Sustainability Score™ unless specifically requested by the supplier on whom the assessment was conducted. It is entirely the supplier's decision.
Expertise in Speeki adds significant value
