Maturity Index
The POC Partner Maturity Index
Welcome to the POC Partner Maturity Index for the Brand and Licensing Industry
The Partner Maturity Index has been designed to efficiently capture and showcase environmental maturity data from manufacturing partners (licensees) for the brand owners within the industry (across all brand types – brand owner and retailer).
Licensed manufactures are being asked to support this data by completing this questionnaire once, making sure you select all the brands you work with. Your responses will automatically populate the dashboards of the brand owners you collaborate with.
This service is completely complimentary with no-upsell and has been funded by the brand owners that are part of POC. Once scoring is complete, you will eventually have the ability to compare your score to an industry benchmark report, allowing you to compare your scores against the broader industry
The Questionnaire:
Your responses will be shared with your licensors to help them better understand your sustainability journey and identify where support may be needed.
This questionnaire assesses the range and depth of sustainability practices within your company in alignment with the POC Sustainability Framework. By completing the questionnaire, you provide the brand owners and retailers that you work with, with valuable insights into your sustainability efforts (without having to duplicate for others).

Who will be able to see my answers?
Your responses will be shared with your licensors to help them better understand your sustainability journey and identify where support may be needed.
In addition, anonymised scores will contribute to an industry benchmark report, which you can use to identify key areas of focus and opportunities for improvement. The questionnaire is housed on a fully secure platform, nobody will be able to access your data other that the brand owners you confirm that you work with.
How long will it take to complete?
On average, the questionnaire takes around 30 minutes to complete if you have all the necessary information readily available. Some questions may require further investigation, so you may need to pause and return later.
To make this easier, we will ask for your email and send you a personalized link, allowing you to resume at any time. We appreciate your participation in this important initiative. If you have any questions about the Maturity Index, please contact us at hello@productsofchange.com.
