Sustainability Intelligence

We show you where your sustainability story breaks before someone else does.

For brands facing buyer audits and regulatory pressure. For investors with capital committed to companies whose claims they can't independently verify.

How the intelligence works

Three data streams. One decision engine.

YKO pulls from real consumer behavior, public regulatory filings, and competitor positioning — then surfaces the gaps no one else is looking for.

Input source

YKO processing

Monetized output

GreenSpecs

Consumer shelf scans

Shoppers point their phone at any product. Real demand signal — which brands consumers are actually checking, by category and region.

Cross-reference with CSR filings

Scan signal matched against brand's own sustainability disclosures. Gap identified when consumer demand outpaces what the brand reports.

Market intelligence

"What consumers are actually checking — and what brands aren't prepared to answer."

Sold to CPG manufacturers, procurement leads, and category analysts.

Public disclosure

SB 253 regulatory filings

California's Supply Chain Act requires Scope 1, 2, and 3 disclosure for companies over $1B doing business in CA. Costco suppliers deadline: August 2027.

Omission detection logic

What was filed against what must be filed. Identifies missing scope coverage, incomplete supplier data, and claims not backed by third-party audit.

Compliance gap report

"Here is exactly what you haven't disclosed — and what it will cost you at your next buyer audit."

Sold to Costco suppliers, ESG teams, and compliance officers. $1,499/mo Compliance plan or $4,800 one-time report.

Competitor data

Scores across your category

YKO has scored brands across food, dairy, beverage, apparel, and snacks — with 6 dimensions each. Your competitors' posture is already on file.

Benchmarking algorithm

Side-by-side dimension scoring across your peer set. Identifies which specific practices create the gap — not just that a gap exists.

Competitive edge analysis

"Why your competitor is beating you on buyer trust — and the three moves that close it."

Sold to brand strategists and sustainability leads. Included in Brand ($299/mo) and Growth ($799/mo) plans.

Where the data comes from

The score isn't a model. It's what your customers found on your packaging.

GreenSpecs is our consumer scanning app. Every time someone points their camera at a product label, it reads every claim, certification mark, and environmental statement visible on the packaging.

That data feeds YKO's brand scores directly — shelf-level intelligence from real purchase moments, not analyst assumptions or self-reported CSR data.

The transparency layer already exists

Consumers are already scanning your packaging. The only question is whether you know what they're finding.

What consumers see

A GreenSpecs scan reads every visible claim on a product — certifications, environmental language, scope statements. It scores what's substantiated and names what's vague. That score is public.

What the data shows

Aggregate scan data reveals patterns at the brand level — which claim categories consumers push back on, which certifications generate confidence, which language triggers low scores across a category. Brands with YKO accounts see this. Others don't.

What it means for reporting

As scan volumes grow, YKO's brand scores increasingly reflect market perception, not just compliance status. The gap between a brand's sustainability report and its GreenSpecs aggregate score is a material signal for buyers, investors, and regulators.

See what scans show for a brand you know

"Your score is 62. You're missing three things that would qualify you for Costco's sustainability shelf program."

YKO doesn't just score what exists. It identifies what's absent — the data gaps, the uncovered scope, the claims that won't survive a procurement audit.
