👋About SUM'D

The UP Scorecard is being developed by SUM’D, which is a fiscally sponsored project of Habitable, a registered 503(c) non-profit organization registered under United States law. The UP Scorecard is being hosted by the Food Packaging Forum Foundation. Life cycle assessment (LCA) services are being provided by Scope 3 Consulting, and technical development of the tool is carried out in cooperation with Frantic Software. The UP Scorecard uses ecoinvent as a data source.

Ongoing development of the UP Scorecard is being made possible through the generous financial support of the Fondation Didier et Martine Primat and Environmental Defense Fund. Additional financial support has been provided through in-kind donations.

The first version of the UP Scorecard was produced by The Lexicon, with support from the Food Team at Google. The Lexicon’s accelerator programs bring together food companies, NGOs, scientists, entrepreneurs, and food producers from across the globe to tackle some of the most complex challenges facing our food systems, from regenerative agriculture to food is medicine.
