Our Methodology
How We Assess
For each business or facility, Hey Social Good reviews all publicly available information to assess their efforts or activities to give back to the community and adopt sustainable practices. Over 500+ data features are examined for each business assessment. The social good assessment of businesses, companies, facilities, and organizations involves four Tiered Assessment Phases.
Five Point Independent Review
The Tiered Assessment Phases of the SGA was specifically designed to incorporate five distinct independent reviews of the business or facility. This ensures our assessment and verification of the business or facility undergoes multiple different and independent layers of data and information examination to ensure data integrity. Each business and facility is examined by multiple data analysts to substantiate and confirm information consistency.
Based on each company’s give back and sustainability activities, practices, and efforts, we calculate a Medal Ranking of Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum. We adopted the medal ranking to reflect the often long, long journey towards creating complete social good. We know how deeply hard it can be, and how this pathway to achieving complete social good can take years. With medal ranks, we recognize and encourage all enterprises’ efforts and accomplishments every step of the way. We review each company’s achievements in three categories: giving back, sustainability, and social good.
