Why ESG Datahub?
Every day, buyers make countless purchasing decisions in online shops and marketplaces. Many would choose more sustainable options if they had better access to relevant information at the point of sale. However, online retailers often lack the necessary data on certifications, product carbon footprints, and more.
ESG Datahub bridges this gap, providing online shops and marketplaces with cost-efficient access to comprehensive sustainability data. At the same time, it enables ecolabels and manufacturers to efficiently distribute and share their sustainability data.
The ESG Datahub founders
Jan Bussiek
Jan has over two decades experience in B2B software solutions. It was during his responsibility for the marketplaces management of Unite Mercateo, a leading B2B procurement platform, that he realised the market lacks a hub for sustainability data and a normed sustainability measure and as a consequence founded ESG Datahub and ESG Score.
Marcus Gebauer
Marcus has a proven track record in data and analytics driven strategies. He spent many years in management positions of marketing companies before founding his own consulting firm in 2009. Since 2020, he has also been supporting ecolabels in the area of digitization and e-commerce. His experience with ecolabels and product certification data is playing a key role for the development of the ESG Datahub.
