A score is only as good as the data behind it. We’ve built a "receipt" for our scoring engine so you can see exactly how we evaluate the companies shaping our future.

Read the full breakdown here: 🔗 originchains.com/methodology

5️⃣ Supply Chain: The hidden trail. For many, 90% of emissions are Scope 3. We measure who is taking responsibility and who is hiding their history.

3️⃣ Footprint: Global efficiency. We use Location-Based data to reflect physical reality, not accounting tricks. 4️⃣ Performance: Peer comparison. Are they the best in their sector, or just "green" by association?

1️⃣ Ambition: Is the company promising enough? We score based on 1.5°C alignment, not just "aspirational" goals. 2️⃣ Action: Habit over hype. We reward the long-term track record of consistent, honest data disclosure.

How do you turn complex corporate data into a simple 1-5 score without losing the truth?

At Origin Chains, we don't believe in "black box" scoring. Today, we’re opening the hood. Our full scoring methodology is now live.
