Customers demand it. Regulators will soon require it. But very few retailers are ready to transparently communicate about their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint and provide sustainable products. In fact, they don’t even know where to start.
Sustainable ShelfMaster
A systematic way to organize your existing data and own your impact.
Introducing Sustainable ShelfMaster

Achieving those coveted green labels and certifications doesn’t happen overnight. And it doesn’t happen if you aren’t fully aware of every step in your supply chain. But getting started is now easier than ever before. Because we’ll give you the roadmap to success.
Sustainable ShelfMaster is a mix of services and software that help you search for, collect, organize, and track all of the relevant sustainability and supply chain data you need to qualify for green labels, thrill your customers, and meet upcoming regulations for transparent reporting.
And the best part is, you can get started with two simple data points you already have.
Take control
Make no mistake – the road to transparency and excellent carbon scores is long and complex. And you’ll have to put in the work to make it happen. But we’ll be right at your side, guiding the process and ensuring every step you take is logical, effective, and aligned with your sustainability strategy and the regulatory requirements for your sector.
With Sustainable ShelfMaster, you will:
With targeted software and APIs, we’ll help you collect the essential data to calculate your carbon score, get a clear overview of your current level of sustainability, and run scenarios to see the impact of the changes you plan to make before you make them.
Within the next few years, you’ll be required to disclose a comprehensive set of environmental, social and governance (ESG) data. We’ll help you start collecting and organizing it today.
As early as 2027, your ability to sell products in the EU may be restricted unless you have a DPP. We’ll help you gather the right data and maximize opportunities to make the most of this regulation.
A whopping 63% of consumers believe you’re not doing enough to offset your impact on the environment. Last year, that figure was 59%. We’ll show you how to take steps to prove them wrong.
Yes, you read that right. Studies show that ethical supply chain practices can boost revenue by up to 20% and reduce costs by up to 16%.
With honest, clear, and data-driven reporting and communication, you’ll ensure customers will trust and prefer your brand over others. And no one will accuse you of greenwashing.
