RAW ECO SCORE and Product Selection
The Raw Office employs an extensive scoring system called RAW ECO SCORE, designed to help customers pick products that adhere to high environmental standards. Only products manufactured with a minimum of fifty percent recycled materials or agricultural fibers are selected – with a few essential exceptions such as inks, toner, soaps, and sanitizers. This exclusive rating system emphasizes reduced packaging, non-toxic and natural ingredients, and local production criteria. Through this approach, the project ensures that all offerings are not just effective office supplies but also align closely with an eco-friendly mandate.
AI for Green Purchasing and Carbon Neutral Products
AI plays a crucial role in this platform by assessing previous purchases and current supply needs of prospective customer companies. This innovative technology streamlines the process of comparing identical and greener alternatives – often at discounted rates – to facilitate informed purchasing decisions. Casual yet effective, the use of AI makes the experience friendly and efficient… customers quickly see the potential financial savings and the environmental benefits before placing easy orders and reorders through a curated program. Moreover, every product is backed by a commitment to be Carbon Neutral, with the supply chain meticulously designed to ensure that all greenhouse gas emissions are offset, supporting a proactive stance on climate action.
Ethical Sourcing and Sustainable Manufacturing
Integrity and accountability are at the heart of The Raw Office, where ethical sourcing and eco-friendly manufacturing play essential roles. The project’s Code of Conduct promotes integrity, respect, and accountability among all organization members by strictly prohibiting forced labor, child labor, harassment, and discrimination. Suppliers must meet robust standards in ethical business practices, ensuring fair wages, safe working environments, and adherence to rigorous environmental and health standards. There is also a dedicated commitment to waste management that minimizes landfill waste and pollution. Terms such as sustainable materials, energy efficiency, and social responsibility are not just buzzwords but form the backbone of every transaction.
