Meet The Sustainability Panel

Our independent Sustainability Panel, composed of leading experts, ensures the integrity of Infine Insight’s data collection and rule generation.

Sustainability Panel also oversees the curation of products featured on the Ostavastuullisesti.fi portal. Curation involves a streamlined assessment of a product’s or service’s sustainability features and its standing as a more sustainable option compared to other market offerings that serve the same customer need. During this process, the Sustainability Panel focuses on several key factors: combating climate change, reducing environmental footprints, respecting human and workers’ rights, adhering to good business ethics, and promoting domestic or local production. Their evaluations are based on information provided by the company and supplemented by public sources.
