Frequently Asked Questions

The listing/advertisement should support one/few/some/many sustainability criteria or United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The listed/advertised initiatives are not necessarily sustainable in everyone’s eyes. They are basically supporting one/few/some/many sustainability criteria and/or United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals in some sense. The list of criteria is in our Q&A – “Who can advertise/list on this website?”

The answer is NO. We do not list only few people/organisations perfectly sustainable, as we prefer millions of people/organisations to support sustainability and/or United Nations Sustainable Development Goals imperfectly.

This is similar to the statement – “We believe that we cannot make this world waste free by efforts of handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people trying to do zero waste imperfectly.”

Yes. All categories are independent from each other. You can list in as many relevant categories as you wish. Each category may have its own pricing plan. You can choose a different price plan in a different category. We can provide special offer for additional categories.

We remove your listing/advert from the directory through our cancellation process.
We charge a small flat-rate or fixed price instead of charging per engagement. This allows you to get greater ROAS (return on ad spend). This means if your content gets 1,000 views or 1,000,000 views, the cost is the same.Typical Sponsored Adverts have algorithms that stop promoting your content, cutting it off from reaching more people after they’ve delivered service. Our service is designed to allow your listing/advert to continuously yield results even after you’re done paying for your subscription.
We do not provide it. You can do it yourself, if you are utilizing analytics software/plugin for your own website. It should (depending on software/plugin) track activity coming from our website.
