Learning the key concepts is an essential first step in any transformation journey, but that alone is not enough. Companies must next evaluate the current state of their manufacturing facilities.
COSIRI's integrated concepts and outputs offer immense value and utility to organisations and manufacturers embarking on their sustainability journey. By providing tangible and measurable outcomes, COSIRI empowers these entities to track and showcase their progress in driving sustainable change.
The purpose of a Consumer Sustainability Industry Readiness Index (COSIRI) Assessment is to help companies identify the focus areas to kick-start their sustainability journey.
COSIRI dimensions results recommend the next steps to achieve Net Zero, risk mitigation, sustainable supply chain, procurement and more.
Assessment ScopeWith the Consumer Sustainability Industry Readiness Index (COSIRI), we’re able to evaluate 24 dimensions of sustainability throughout your business, offering a comprehensive framework to guide manufacturers towards sustainable practices. From Strategy & Risk Management to Technology and Organisation & Governance, COSIRI is designed to help your business align with best practice in sustainability, ensuring transparency in ESG reporting and promoting continuous improvement.
Our Certified COSIRI Assessor (CCA) will spend 2-3 days conducting the workshop that creates the next steps to reach Net Zero targets.
For an effective COSIRI Assessment participants should have a good knowledge of the processes and areas being assessed.
A group of 10-15 participants is an ideal size for a CCA to effectively manage discussions and derive useful insights.
Our Certified COSIRI Assessor (CCA) will work with you to collect the Prioritisation Inputs and validate the Prioritisation Matrix.
COSIRI creates a readable Star Emblem system to verify the company’s Net Zero transformation stage. This system indirectly takes into account various aspects of consumer behaviour, such as a consumer’s sustainability values and beliefs, purchasing behaviour, and willingness to pay a premium for sustainable products to minimise the impact on the environment. The official Star Emblem – valid for two years – will be given to the company after the completion of the COSIRI assessment. This emblem provides a quick overview of a company’s sustainability performance.
Debrief SessionOur Certified COSIRI Assessor (CCA) will present the report to the assessment participants, explaining the findings and the rationale behind them.
The CCA will provide insights and best practices that will help the company move to the next banding.
