Description

PurView^SM (formerly known as the UL Supply Chain Transparency Platform) is a customizable cloud-based software platform provided by UL I&I and enabled by GoodGuide. It can be configured for various sustainability criteria and retailer-specific data, allowing custom performance assessments of companies or products, or can simply use GoodGuide’s established sustainability ratings.

Once customized, PurView^SM provides retailers with tools for data collection, management, sharing and decision support – including raw materials, product attributes, supplier policies and performance criteria.

GoodGuide helps consumers identify safe, healthy and socially responsible products and companies by collecting and analyzing publicly available, detailed product information on personal care, household, food, and children’s products. GoodGuide makes information about these products accessible at the point of purchase, through its web and mobile applications.
