Jade: Sustainability Ratings

Living well and living lightly should be one and the same. Jade helps you find local businesses whose sustainability claims hold up. Every business profile on Jade has a Sustainability section. It shows the certifications the business holds, each with a link to verify at the source, plus possible next steps it could take. Paired with reviews from people who've been there, it paints a more accurate picture of how seriously each business takes its commitments to its community and the planet. The Discovery tab gathers certified and likely green businesses near you, anywhere in the US, while search finds specific businesses by name or category. Anyone can rate and review on Jade. You don't need to be a sustainability expert, just someone who wants to help businesses do their best. A review has three parts: · The leaf score is your gut feeling about a particular business's sustainability efforts overall. This is the only required part. · Observation chips help you to know what to look for when you visit, and let the business know what visitors are seeing most. If you observe a strength or a concern the list doesn't cover, you can suggest a new one. Separate from the leaf score, every observation shows up on the business profile, along with a count of how many people saw it. · The written review is where you say the rest. It could be praise for a business doing great, or constructive criticism that lets others know what to expect. Jade is free. No account is needed to browse, search, share and save favorites. Sign in to add your own ratings, reviews and photos (the powerful part). This is the very first version of Jade. If you have ideas for making it better, drop a note to hello@jade.eco. So the next time you're choosing where to shop, eat, work, relax or play, look it up on Jade first. And if you're there now, please leave a solid review for the rest of us.
