Our Framework:

We do the hard work for you by assessing each CoGo accredited business against our strict framework. We combine the very best (and strictest) guidelines from over 50 of the top industry accrediting organisations, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Once verified, businesses will be awarded a number of accreditation badges, which you can use to discover those that are taking action on the issues that matter to you the most.

When you make a purchase with a business listed on CoGo, you’re also joining the thousands of like-minded community members already using their purchasing power as a voice for change. We share this information anonymously with companies to help them to decide what new social and environmental initiatives they should invest in.
