Getting Help

In order to spread the availability of this powerful tool, we have trained and licenced certain individuals to administer SCORE. A licensed assessor can help you:

• Find the best way to administer SCORE in your organization
• Understand the items, interpreting them to your situation
• Benchmark your organization against others who have taken the assessment
• Interpret your report results
• Decide what your priorities should be, based on the assessment results
• Connect you with resources and provide advice for how to proceed with your goals and plans

Contact someone from the list of licensed assessors below for assistance.

Want to become licensed? Click on Becoming Licensed at the left if you want to be trained to use SCORE. External consultants may want to add SCORE to their toolkit of services and internal practioners may want to administer SCORE themselves year-after-year to track their progress without incurring the expense of an external consultant. Contact Darcy Hitchcock if you possess a strong working knowledge of sustainability concepts and practices and want to be notified of the next licensing workshop.

Licensed assessors

Darcy Hitchcock and Marsha Willard of AXIS Performance Advisors are the creators of SCORE. They, along with Dorothy Atwood at the Zero Waste Alliance are master trainers, the only ones who can license other assessors to use SCORE in their consulting practice. In addition to the master trainers, the following people have been trained on the use of SCORE and are licensed to administer it with clients. They are listed by region.

NOTE: These listed in the chart below are the only people who have been licensed and have our permission to use SCORE in their consulting practice. If you encounter others who are using SCORE, please ask them to contact us to become properly trained and licensed. They run the risk of using SCORE inappropriately as there are many subtleties to this tool. In addtition, they do not have access to the most updated files, certain assessments that are not available in The Business Guide to Sustainability, and they cannot benchmark your organization's performance against other organizations. Of course, anyone can purchase a copy of The Business Guide to Sustainability and use the SCORE worksheets to do a paper-and-pencil assessment of their own organization. But we hold consultants to a higher standard if they want to use SCORE in their practice. Practitioners inside organizations may also want to become licensed so they can conduct SCORE year after year without incurring the expenses of an external consultant.
