Ecovian is a community website for finding eco-friendly local businesses

What Company Is Offering:
Ecovian is a community website for finding eco-friendly local businesses and sharing other information to help you live a green lifestyle.

How It Works:

When you write a review or edit a listing, you will have the chance to select values for the objective criteria used in calculating green scores for a particular business. They aggregate these selections through a weighted voting mechanism to calculate the final criteria values and green scores. Thus, green scores are determined by data entered by our members. Additionally when they enter a new region, they research and enter data for many businesses themselves to get things started, however their vote counts exactly the same as yours.
Green scores are based on a number objective criteria and a scoring model, both of which vary based on the category of the business. Green scores are also dependent on the amount on information we have on a business -- the more information we have, the more accurate it will be. For more information on how a particular category is scored, see the listing page for that category.
