Futureproof

Held

Kommentare: Futureproof were a valuable partner, both as a piece of software to help us get organised, but also as a friendly team to speak to for advice. Without Futureproof we would not have met our goal of achieving B-Corp accreditation in our 22/23 financial year.

Vorteile:

Futureproof provided us with a clear roadmap and set-of priorities so that we could make sense of our path towards being a sustainable business and eliminate all of the distraction that could have cost a lot in time and resources. I saw them as trusted guide holding our hand through set-up of the infrastructure and processes needed to set the business on course to focus on sustainability and ESG. Most of all, I liked the framework of templates and trackers that allowed us to organise and gather the data I needed. The platform also constantly improved and acted as a brilliant one-stop location to access all of the guidance we needed to run that part of our business. This made it easy to delegate ownership and access to colleagues, improving our efficiency and allowing us to make more progress than would have otherwise been possible.

Nachteile:

We were engaged with FutureProof from an early stage so the interface and reporting was always being updated and improved. Overall this was a positive thing as we were able to help shape improvements to the presentation of data and management options.

Futureproof

Kommentare: I found it quite daunting to start but with the help of james at future proof and the excellent level of description in the task i soon settled in to using it daily and find it very easy to use,I guess there is a learning curve with every new system you start to use but i never felt frustrated and the learning curve wasnt a steep one.

Vorteile:

I found the futureprrof platform very easy to use with everything being very explanatory and well laid out.New features were being added to improve the system.

Nachteile:

i found surveys to be quite un user friendly however i know the team are working on changing this but other than that which is a small gripe i cant think of anything else.

Ideal B-Corp Support Software

Vorteile:

Futureproof was a vital step in setting up A+A to be eligible for B-Corp consideration. We worked alongside the team in their early days, which resulted in a lot of conversations about what would be helpful for both parties. We appreciated how communicative their team was and the ease of use of their software. Would reccomend.

Nachteile:

Since using Futureproof, their UX has improved, which was the only note our team had.

FutureProof - Excellent Sustainability Partners

Vorteile:

We’ve been working with FutureProof for a couple of years and have nothing but great things to say about them. They have been supporting our BCorp application and their platform is brilliant at breaking down the process into manageable modules, it is a mammoth undertaking, but their platform has really helped our business to get organised. They have also been working on Carbon Manager and Supplier Evaluation products which are valuable in helping to achieve ESG goals and very user friendly. They are incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and passionate about helping businesses become more sustainable and their Slack channel has connected us with likeminded people from across various industries. They also actively seek input on their platform roadmaps from users which I think is really important during product development and enables their products to be very intuitive.

Nachteile:

I would just love to hear from them more!

Futureproof makes the daunting manageable

Kommentare: Great - really happy to have their support and be able to use their tool to make our business better.

Vorteile:

The team is really great - the platform is quite new so they are hyper reponsive to suggestions and ideas as they want to build the best tool for businesses.I really like the roadmaps feature. You can sign up to roadmap and then it has a number of smaller tasks assocatied with it. This makes it easy to tackle small areas of improvment in your business for example mental health or business ethics.They have recently introduced a supplier section where you can email a survey to your suppliers and track what they are doing for ESG.

Nachteile:

I dont really dislike anything ! In there emissons tracking section i would really like to see more categories like cloud hosting, ppc for spend -> carbon footprint calculations
