Best practices
Consumerium Services mostly expose worst practices, but there is some room for identifying and rewarding best practices of responsible private companies and governments:
- absolute prevention of extinction and deforestation
- conservation of energy and materials ("Natural Capitalism")
- enlightened labour practices
- recognizing natural capital formally as a capital asset in accounting
- adjusting money supply by measuring well-being
- following SA 8000
- following ISO 9000
- following ISO 14000
- following ISO 19011
- etc.
How many best practices add up to a green light? How many worst practices are required before it turns yellow or red? Can we avoid this by thinking only about price premium?
