How does the ARTEMIDA INDEX scoring work?
The ARTEMIDA INDEX score reflects your organization’s sustainability performance based on the assessment conducted. For paid options (PATHFINDER and GROWTH) you will receive a score certificate valid for one year, which can be used for benchmarking and improvement.
Why is it important to conduct ARTEMIDA INDEX assessment?
Conducting the ARTEMIDA INDEX assessment offers numerous benefits, including:
Benchmarking: The assessment allows your organization to measure its sustainability practices against industry standards. By identifying where your organization stands in comparison to peers and industry leaders, you can gain valuable insights into your performance and best practices.
Regulatory Compliance: The assessment helps ensure that your organization adheres to relevant regulations and standards in sustainability. By proactively managing compliance, you can mitigate risks associated with regulatory violations and enhance your organization’s reputation in the marketplace.
Stakeholder Confidence: ARTEMIDA INDEX assessment demonstrates your organization’s commitment to environmental and social responsibility. This proactive approach can strengthen relationships with stakeholders, customers, and partners by fostering trust and credibility in your sustainability initiatives.
Subcontractor Assessment: The ARTEMIDA INDEX assessment also provides an opportunity to evaluate your subcontractors’ sustainability practices. Understanding the sustainability performance of your supply chain is crucial for several reasons:
- Holistic Evaluation: Assessing subcontractors allows for a comprehensive view of your organization’s overall sustainability footprint. This ensures that all parties involved in your operations adhere to the same environmental and social standards.
- Risk Management: By evaluating subcontractors, you can identify potential risks associated with their sustainability practices. This enables you to address issues proactively and work collaboratively to improve performance across your supply chain.
- Strengthening Partnerships: Engaging subcontractors in the assessment process fosters a culture of sustainability throughout your network. This collaboration not only enhances the sustainability performance of all parties but also strengthens business relationships based on shared values and goals.
Social Impact: Participating in the assessment aligns your organization with global sustainability goals, contributing positively to community well-being. By committing to sustainable practices, you can make a meaningful impact on environmental and social issues that matter to your stakeholders.
Improvement Opportunities: Through the assessment, you can identify specific areas for improvement within your organization’s sustainability efforts. This targeted approach not only enhances your sustainability performance but also drives operational efficiencies and reduces costs.

Why is my ARTEMIDA INDEX valid only for 1 year?
Sustainability practices, regulations, and industry standards are constantly evolving. A one-year validity period allows your organization to stay aligned with the latest developments and best practices in sustainability.
It also encourages organizations to regularly evaluate and enhance their sustainability efforts. An annual assessment provides an opportunity to reassess and update your sustainability practices based on any changes in your organization, industry, or external environment. This allows you to measure progress, identify new challenges, and set new targets.
Regular reassessment helps build confidence among stakeholders, including customers, investors, and partners, by demonstrating your organization’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and transparency.
