SER Scores

1. Each company is verified

We work with trusted partners who carefully review all companies that apply on S’whales before displaying any of their products.

  • Check their commitments

Companies must prove their devotion to being Socially and Ecologically Responsible – SER. We thoroughly examine the actions they’re implementing.

  • Confirm legitimacy & ensure trustworthiness

We meticulously verify sellers to ensure their authenticity as well as their reliability. Only established businesses are allowed on S’whales.

  • Validate each product complies with our policy

We carefully assess every product to ensure it aligns with our sustainability standards before approving its listing on our website.


2. We attribute their SER Score

Once we know in detail which efforts they focus on, it’s time to give them and their products the SER scores they deserve.

  • The more committed, the better the score is
  • A = for top sustainable companies and products that go way beyond basic principles for both our planet and society
  • B + C = for responsible companies going the extra mile and aiming to continuously improve their practices and products
  • D = this is the minimum required to be featured on S’whales. It means that companies fully uphold human rights and ensure healthy and safe working conditions for everyone. Their products are also ecologically responsible posing no harm to Earth’s biodiversity, soil, and society.
  • E + F = Not allowed on our marketplace, not sustainable, not responsible.

3. Time to shop safe & happy

When everything has been verified, we display their shop and products on S’whales. You’re ready to shop worry-free.

  • Easily check the product’s SER score

Find it on the sellers’ shop, on the product images, and on the product page.

  • Only see products matching your commitments

Use our handy search filters to define your engagement while you shop.

  • Make an impact at your own level

When you choose to shop for sustainable products, you are part of the solution. Every effort counts. On top of this, you power up responsible entrepreneurs.

Socially Responsible

Respecting human rights is, obviously, a prerequisite to sell on S’whales. We firmly believe that nobody should be paying the price for other’s personal needs. Our partners too! They’re committed to upholding the highest ethical standards towards their suppliers, workers and consumers.

Ecologically Responsible

We’re deeply convinced that our actions must harmonise with our planet. Prioritising our environment, conserving natural resources, and minimising our ecological footprint is non-negotiable. It’s a collective individual effort. And the good news is: we all can do something at our own level.
