Incorporating your feedback that we received in the course of last year, WeGreen created a simplified version of the sustainability footprint. All of the evaluations are now combined into one single footprint. To be able to do this, we analysed all of our sources once again and divided them into three categories: “hard”, “medium” and “soft”. A source that is considered as “hard” has a threefold impact on the sustainability footprint, compared to a one fold impact of a “soft” source. Here is an example of the new design:

Moreover, you can now show the corporations, that you care about sustainability. The number of people showing their interest will be presented by us in a transparent way. On top of that, you can also vote on the sustainability performance of each company. To be able to do so, just go to www.wegreen.de and create an account.

barcoo has now integrated information about co2-footprints of products. So far this information is only available in German.

We inform you quickly and precisely about products. For that we also use representations that are controversial. One example, is our nutritional value traffic light.  We are confident that the advantages of the traffic light outweigh any possible disadvantages. Others see it differently. Especially in some areas of the food industry, there are reservations. Some even think we are against food manufacturers  and that is certainly not the case. We appreciate any manufacturer that will openly communicate what type of ingredients go into their food processing. After all, we need to eat something as well ;-)

We would like to repeat due to recent circumstances, that barcoo is neutral and barcoo wants that everyone is able to be forthcoming with their opinions.

If you are a manufacturer and  you feel wrongly treated by the information about your product that is integrated into barcoo, then simply contact us so that we can reexamine the sources explicitly. For example, in this way you are able to explain that your product received the red traffic light because of it’s high fruit content that lead to a high value of sugar. We can also integrate your contents. They will be shown in our system with their sources (as always).

Our aim is to provide to the consumers as much transparency as possible so that they can reach their own conclusions based on their own criteria. This certainly includes content provided by the manufacturers.  If you have any questions, please send us an Email or call us directly.
