Get started now – and make your sustainability visible.

The NaGeWe-Bio Sustainability Check provides bioeconomy companies with a simple and practical starting point for assessing their sustainability performance. It offers a quick and structured overview of where your company stands today and highlights opportunities for future-oriented and sustainable development.

With an approach specifically tailored to the bioeconomy, the Sustainability Check combines ecological, economic, and social aspects. In around 1.5 hours, the user-friendly online questionnaire below enables you to assess the most important areas of your company. Its flexible format allows you to complete the questionnaire at your own pace – without any time pressure.

After completion, you will receive an individual evaluation in the form of a clear and concise scorecard. It highlights your strengths, identifies opportunities for improvement, and provides a sound basis for strategic decisions and concrete actions.

The NaGeWe-Bio Sustainability Check is based on a low-threshold, company-centred approach. This allows you to focus on what matters most: the sustainable development of your company and the active shaping of a responsible bioeconomy.

Online questionnaire for conducting the Sustainability Check for business models

During completion of the online questionnaire, the current progress is displayed at all times in a sidebar. The progress indicator shows both the percentage of questions already answered and the number of completed questionnaire sections (e.g. 5 out of 12 sections). The questionnaire can be paused at any time and continued at a later point. Entered data is temporarily saved and can be accessed again via a personalised link.

After completing the questionnaire, it can be submitted using the “Submit” button. Submission is only possible once all questions have been answered. If any information is missing, users will be automatically redirected to the relevant sections of the questionnaire.

After successful submission, an initial evaluation is provided immediately. It includes the total score achieved, the level of fulfilment, a graphical representation of the results in the form of a radar chart, and an overview of the assessments in the individual categories.

The accompanying user guideline explains the methodology, application, and content structure of the Business Model Check and supports its practical implementation.

This questionnaire is based on the sustainability assessment system for bioeconomy business models developed by the Plant³ project NaGeWe-Bio. Please note: The data you enter may be accessed by members of the WIR! alliance Plant³. This also applies to potentially sensitive information such as the company name, your own name, your email address, or any other entries in text fields that may allow conclusions to be drawn about your company. If you wish to keep your information completely anonymous, please leave the respective fields blank. If mandatory fields (e.g. the email address) need to be completed, anonymised details such as “anonym@anonym.com” may be used. You can edit your entries at any time using the link provided for further processing. Once the questionnaire has been submitted, changes to the information provided are no longer possible. The data you enter will not be used by us for publications but will only serve internal purposes, such as the further improvement of the platform.

Please provide your contact details. You can then choose between the full survey and the short survey.
