What is a HowGood estimate and why should I show it on my products?
Every food and beverage brand on Beacon receives a sustainability impact estimate from HowGood for its products, at no extra cost. Retailers value this transparency when choosing what to stock, and you choose whether the estimate shows on Beacon. HowGood is an independent research company with the world's largest food product sustainability database, drawn from more than 600 data sources and certifications. Estimates cover food and beverage products. The estimate measures a product across eight metrics: greenhouse gas emissions, soil health, water use, land use, biodiversity, animal welfare, labor risk and processing, and rates it Good, Great or Best.
