How to join COSH! as a store or local artisanal brand?

Assess your store’s sustainability efforts

The COSH! index evaluates brands based on seven themes: people, materials, circular economy, animal well-being, supply chain distance, brand positioning and traceability. It’s designed for multi-brand stores to assess the sustainability of their range. The COSH! store index takes data from 1000 brands and scores shops on packaging, energy, and charities supported. A score of 30 means your store is transitioning. Over 50 is amazing!

Test and benchmark your shop and discover how your store can join the COSH! platform.

Do you have a zero-waste store, a clothing library, a second-hand store or a brand flagship, and your brand hasn’t been screened yet? Get in touch directly!

The COSH! benefits

As a retailer, it can be challenging to communicate your sustainable actions in a reliable and balanced way.

It’s increasingly difficult for SMEs to become visible amidst the greenwashing claims made by large retailers with millions in marketing budgets to waste.

COSH! works through a commons principle where all retailers pay a small membership to present themselves. COSH! in return, gives a clear sustainability score and explanation and creates visibility and sales through several touch points with conscious citizens and tourists.
