FAQ
COSIRI stands for the Consumer Sustainability Industry Readiness Index. It is a globally recognized, independent framework developed by the International Centre for Industrial Transformation (INCIT) and endorsed by the World Economic Forum.
While many frameworks focus only on high-level ESG reporting, COSIRI is "manufacturer-centric." It evaluates the actual sustainability maturity of a factory's operations—from how they procure raw materials to the clean technologies used on the production line. It provides companies with a Sustainability Star Rating, giving consumers and investors transparent, quantifiable proof of a company's commitment to CO2 reduction.
