What makes Bloom unique is its powerful Library, made up of industry sourcing standards and internationally tested Indexes and Common Indictor Frameworks. They are mapped against relevant Sustainable Development Goals and industry commitments, harmonized using Results-Based Management. Bloom has adapted them for data collection at a local level, for the first mile of a supply chain and surrounding communities. In cases where there are no metrics, we’ve developed our own. Users can simply select their goals, generating a custom survey that can be exported to a data collection tool.
