COSIRI
Benchmark, guide, and accelerate sustainable transformation across manufacturing — with transparency, rigor, and consumer trust.
COSIRI (Consumer Sustainability Industry Readiness Index) is a globally referenced, independent framework developed by INCIT to assess, benchmark, and certify how ready manufacturers are for sustainability — from ESG transparency to emissions management. It helps companies navigate their sustainability journey with clarity, strategic guidance, and measurable progress.
Why COSIRI Matters
- Transparent accountability — Provides a neutral, structured assessment so manufacturers can demonstrate sustainability maturity and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) transparency.
- Consumer trust and differentiation — Empowers consumers to make informed choices by enabling comparison, star‐rating systems, and visible reporting.
- Regulatory readiness — Helps organisations prepare for emerging regulatory frameworks (e.g. EU deforestation rules), and manage risks tied to climate/climate policy.
- Scalable & adaptable — Designed to be used by manufacturers of all sizes, across industries, whether starting their sustainability journey or scaling existing efforts.
COSIRI’s Framework & Methodology
Core Elements & Dimensions
COSIRI assesses organisations across five core pillars:
- Strategy & Risk Management — Sustainability embedded in leadership, strategy, with climate-risk considerations.
- Sustainable Business Processes — Operational practices, supply chain, procurement, product lifecycle, waste, resource use.
- Technology — Clean tech, process innovations, tools for monitoring / measurement, emissions tracking.
- Organisation & Governance — ESG function, leadership accountability, structure, capacity, governance.
- Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions — Covers emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, with mechanisms for measuring, prioritising, and reducing.
Prioritisation & Scoring
- Uses Prioritisation Matrices to help firms identify which areas to focus on first — both in emissions (GHG) and broader sustainability dimensions.
- Includes a Star Rating System tied to measurable reductions in carbon equivalent, making progress visible.
