About EcoScore
Empowering greener choices - one product at a time
EcoScore is a sustainability rating system developed in-house by JGBM Ltd, the UK's leading office technology distributor. It was created to solve a clear problem: the lack of transparent, product-level sustainability data in the Office Products and Tech sectors.
With growing demand from consumers and businesses for environmentally responsible products, EcoScore makes it simple to identify and compare the sustainability of office technology on your website.
Each product rated by EcoScore has been assessed using a rigorous framework and receives a clear, trustworthy rating: 1, 2, or 3 Leaves, based on its sustainability performance within its product category.
EcoScore is designed to be easily deployed via a simple plugin on reseller websites. EcoScore is already integrated into several back-office platforms in the OP sector, but if you're using a bespoke platform, don't worry, EcoScore is simple to integrate! For resellers/dealers, EcoScore adds real value. As well as featuring EcoScore content on your product pages, you can utilise it across your sales and marketing departments.
For products that achieve accreditation, EcoScore is available in three tiers:
Tier 1
Delivers the core leaf ratings to your webshop, alongside a brief explanation of the rating system, free-of-charge.
Tier 2
Upgrading to Tier 2 unlocks full product-level data and downloadable EcoScore certificates to use when quoting.
Tier 3
Gives you full access to the EcoScore source data, to use as you wish.
EcoScore is more than just a rating - it's a tool for trusted, data-led storytelling. It helps resellers differentiate, meet tender requirements, and appeal to an increasingly sustainability-focused customer base.

Over 125,000 individual data points have been gathered across more than 3,500 products and 40 leading brands. Our evaluation covers four key criteria:
Production
Country of origin, manufacturing sustainability, distance travelled
Specification
Use of recycled materials, product efficiency, end-of-life recyclability
Certification
Environmental compliance and third-party accreditations
Packaging
Use of recyclable and sustainable materials, plastic ratios
This data is then processed through a carefully weighted scoring algorithm to ensure every leaf rating is accurate, credible, and comparable within its category.
Recent research shows:
of buyers prioritise sustainability
are deterred by brands with poor environmental practices
are willing to pay a premium for greener options
