Pre Project:
Currently, the team is in the pre-project phase, working to define the needs and opportunities for the SDG Wizard. We are working with our partners to create a multi-faceted tool to help businesses and decision-makers move towards robust sustainability. We are a consortium of industry, business, academia, and …. Co-producing a tool to serve you.
Vision:
To create a streamlined method of sustainability reporting that is educational and effective for the end user and supports decision makers. By combining industrial and academic knowledge about sustainability we aim to support businesses and communities by providing a straightforward reliable sustainability tool.
About us:
We are a business-university partnership collaborating on consolidating all relevant academic and practical knowledge on sustainability to support the implementation of the SDGs in a local context. Currently the University of Bergen, ARCT, and — are working with Salmon Group, which is a member organization for aquaculture companies representing 42 companies and 115 aquaculture licenses, and the supplier. This partnership allows us to integrate feedback from the end user throughout the development process. Once completing the pre-project focused on concept and interface development the platform will be generalized from sea farming to a larger diversity of industries.
In the future, once this sustainability reporting and SDG target tracing platform have wide spread uptake, it will create a standardized indication of progress and an easy way for consumers to compare products based on sustainability. This will also ultimately support the Norwegian government’s sustainability goals by providing accountability and highlighting opportunities for improvement and support at various levels.
