Working at
Archr Sustainability AB

Archr’s vision is to make sustainability into a default by helping consumers globally make sustainable purchase decisions. As conscious consumers ourselves, we find it very difficult to make sustainable choices. There is no way to compare products on sustainability as companies use different ways of communicating sustainability impact, and as consumers we don't have the capacity to research what products are actually sustainable. Thus, we created a unique scoring method that makes it possible to compare products on sustainability on a scale from 1-10, via our SaaS-solution and platform. In short, we are the Google Translate for Sustainability. Through our subscription-based SaaS-solution, companies can showcase our scores directly on their websites. This solution helps companies communicate sustainability impact on product-level in an easy way, enhance brand reputation, and avoid greenwashing.
