Sustainability score: Displays the total score indicating the environmental sustainability of your storage systems. You can assess the sustainability level of your storage systems based on the following range:

  • 76 - 100: Indicates that sustainability is a top priority.

  • 51 - 75: Indicates a high level of investment in sustainability initiatives.

  • 26 - 50: Indicates good progress towards sustainability initiatives.

  • Less than 25: Indicates the need for improvement in sustainability practices.

You can see the graphical representation of the score for up to 5 weeks, which is updated on a weekly basis. You can also see the reason for the increase or decrease in the sustainability score by hovering over the graph.
