About us
Mission
At CommonShare, our mission is to cultivate a world where sustainability is at the heart of every purchasing decision. We strive to empower brands, retailers, manufacturers, suppliers, standard owners (e.g. Fairtrade), and certification bodies (e.g. Bureau Veritas) by providing a unified platform that facilitates easy access to normalized, composable information from the supply chain. By doing so, we aim to enable informed decision-making and inspire a shift towards sustainable, circular and regenerative practices, processes, and companies.
Vision
Building a Sustainable Society: Our Vision for a Better World
Our vision is a world where sustainability is not just a buzzword but a fundamental principle embedded in every aspect of our society. We envision:
A future that is traceable, whereby consumers and businesses can better understand the impacts of their purchasing decisions, without compromising the competitiveness of non-retail facing manufacturers and producers.
A future that is regenerative, whereby businesses strive to improve their production processes to support the regeneration of people and places.
A future that is collaborative, whereby standard owners and certification bodies understand that they each contribute a critical component to our shared definition of sustainability.
A future that is shared, where value-creating stakeholders consistently share in ownership and governance of the systems they help to create.
Our values
Transparency
At CommonShare, transparency is a fundamental value that guides our actions. We recognize the importance of open and honest communication in building trust among our team members, customers, and stakeholders.

We firmly believe that by harnessing the collective power of diverse perspectives and skills, we can achieve greater results and drive meaningful change.

We encourage teamwork, open dialogue, and knowledge sharing among our employees, as well as with external stakeholders such as clients, suppliers, and community organizations. By fostering a collaborative culture, we tap into the collective intelligence of our team, spark innovation, and create solutions that are more comprehensive, impactful, and sustainable.
