Abstract
A method includes obtaining performance information from sources, where the performance information relates to products and/or services, enabling the performance information to be reviewed to thereby produce vetted and categorized performance information, receiving the vetted and categorized performance information, where the vetted and categorized performance information includes the performance information that has been vetted for reliability and that has been categorized according to reliability, and using the vetted and categorized performance information to generate reports, where the reports indicate a performance impact of the products and/or services.
Claims27
A method comprising:
- obtaining, via one or more computing devices, performance information relating to products and/or services, the performance information comprising supporting information, the supporting information relating to reliability of the performance information, the supporting information comprising information about different certifications given to the performance information and information about scientific methodologies used to arrive at the certifications and/or to obtain the performance information;
- wherein the performance information is reviewed to thereby produce vetted and ranked performance information;
- receiving, via the one or more computing devices, the vetted and ranked performance information, the vetted and ranked performance information comprising the performance information (i) that has been vetted for reliability based on at least some of the supporting information, and (ii) that has been ranked according to reliability based, at least in part, on at least one benchmark, the at least one benchmark comprising compliance with life cycle assessment methodology;
- and
- using at least some of the vetted and ranked performance information to generate a report for a product or service via the one or more computing devices, the report enabling access to vetted and ranked performance information for the product or service, the report providing information about an environmental impact or a sustainable impact of the product or service based on the vetted and ranked performance information for the product or service.

One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media storing instructions that are executable to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining performance information relating to products and/or services, the performance information comprising supporting information, the supporting information relating to reliability of the performance information, the supporting information comprising information about different certifications given to the performance information and information about scientific methodologies used to arrive at the certifications and/or to obtain the performance information;
- wherein the performance information is reviewed to thereby produce vetted and ranked performance information;
- receiving the vetted and ranked performance information, the vetted and ranked performance information comprising the performance information (i) that has been vetted for reliability based on at least some of the supporting information, and (ii) that has been ranked according to reliability based, at least in part, on at least one benchmark, the at least one benchmark comprising compliance with life cycle assessment methodology;
- and
- using at least some of the vetted and ranked performance information to generate a report for a product or service, the report enabling access to vetted and ranked performance information for the product or service, the report providing information about an environmental impact or a sustainable impact of the product or service based on the vetted and ranked performance information for the product or service.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- memory to store instructions that are executable;
- and
- one or more servers to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining performance information relating to products and/or services, the performance information comprising supporting information, the supporting information relating to reliability of the performance information, the supporting information comprising information about different certifications given to the performance information and information about scientific methodologies used to arrive at the certifications and/or to obtain the performance information;
- wherein the performance information is reviewed to thereby produce vetted and ranked performance information;
- receiving the vetted and ranked performance information, the vetted and ranked performance information comprising the performance information (i) that has been vetted for reliability based on at least some of the supporting information, and (ii) that has been ranked according to reliability based, at least in part, on at least one benchmark, the at least one benchmark comprising compliance with life cycle assessment methodology;
- and
- using at least some of the vetted and ranked performance information to generate a report for a product or service, the report enabling access to vetted and ranked performance information for the product or service, the report providing information about an environmental impact or a sustainable impact of the product or service based on the vetted and ranked performance information for the product or service.
