Biosphere Introduces Platform Enhancements to Optimize User Experience

On November 25 and 26, 2024, we conducted scheduled maintenance on our platform, Biosphere. During this process, significant updates were implemented to improve system usability, simplify processes, and facilitate access to sustainability certification.

Biosphere introduces major platform updates to simplify sustainability and certification processes.

What do these changes include?

These updates reflect Biosphere’s ongoing commitment to innovation, excellence in sustainable management, and providing practical, effective tools for companies and entities striving for a more responsible and sustainable development model. Key improvements focus on:

1. The Creation of a New Dashboard to Begin the Biosphere Certification Journey.

We have introduced a completely revamped dashboard to guide companies and entities through the initial steps of their sustainability process. This dashboard presents key topics in a simple, phased manner, creating a clearer and more accessible experience.

  • Basic Topics: A space where users can explore different "Biosphere Starters," organized to address the fundamental aspects of sustainability.
  • Initial and Feasible Activities: Tailored to the type of business or entity, the dashboard offers a selection of basic actions to help develop a sustainability plan.
  • Simplified Process: By focusing on these initial actions, companies and entities can advance more effectively without feeling overwhelmed by excessive information.

2. A Redesigned Process to Guide All Businesses and Entities Toward Sustainability.

This redesign incorporates a structured, progressive approach to ensure a better user experience at every stage of the process:

  • Access to the New Dashboard: Users will find the catalog of "Biosphere Starters" upon logging in.
  • Activity Assignment and Evidence Submission: Users must select at least one activity from each Starter and provide evidence of its implementation.
  • Initial Evaluation: Once evidence is submitted, users can request an evaluation to achieve the Biosphere Committed status.
  • Unlocking the Full Catalog: Achieving this status grants access to a comprehensive catalog of advanced activities aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), enabling continuous progress toward a more robust sustainable development model.

What Impact Do These Improvements Have?

With this latest update, we have:

  • Made the platform more intuitive: The platform is now easier to use and focused on essential elements, helping companies and entities build a strong foundation for sustainable practices. Users will benefit from a clear roadmap and well-defined steps to advance through the different levels leading to Biosphere certification.
  • Enhanced user experience: We’ve simplified every step of our process, making it clearer and more accessible. This ensures companies and entities feel supported and guided throughout their sustainability journey with their Biosphere plan.
  • Introduced a phased approach: We’ve redesigned how companies and entities set up and document their sustainability plans through a gradual, step-by-step method. This makes it easier to integrate new practices into daily operations effectively and without unnecessary complexity.

Our Commitment to Sustainability and Continuous Improvement.

With these updates, Biosphere reaffirms its dedication to sustainable development, offering tools that simplify the certification process and supporting companies and entities at every stage of their transformation toward more responsible practices.

These enhancements mark a turning point in the user experience by introducing clearer, more practical, and guided functionalities. Moving forward, it will be easier to:

  • Take the first steps toward certification.
  • Progress gradually, at your own pace, adapting to your capabilities and needs.
  • Lay the foundation for a solid sustainable development model aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering scalable and responsible practices.
