Global master data management (MDM) solutions provider Stibo Systems is partnering with sustainability intelligence company HowGood to support their customers that are consumer package goods brands and those that are retailers, in their sustainability initiatives.
HowGood manages the world’s largest food product sustainability database. Drawing from over 600 independent data sources and certifications, the database provides UPC-level environmental and social impact data on over two million products — all at the individual ingredient analysis level.
“We’re seeing consumers adopt more sustainable behaviors, and they expect the brands they buy from to provide that information and more importantly, be able to prove it,” said John Tully, Chief Sales Officer at Stibo Systems. “Investing in better sustainability data and transparency pays off, from sales growth to customer loyalty.”
