How TerraGridTech evaluates environmental claims

Evidence before a claim

We prefer laws and regulators, intergovernmental bodies, peer-reviewed research, standards bodies and recognised industry data. Original TerraGridTech data is publishable only with a visible methodology. Marketing blogs do not establish scientific facts.

Why we avoid universal conversions

We do not convert one receipt into a fixed number of trees, litres of water or carbon emissions. Such conversions depend on paper composition, sourcing, production, receipt dimensions, printing, transport, waste treatment, digital infrastructure and user behaviour. A single universal factor would hide those boundaries.

Digital systems also use resources

Digital receipts depend on customer devices, networks, storage and hosted infrastructure. We therefore do not describe digital delivery as zero-impact or automatically superior in every setting. [6]

Customer-specific results need customer data

A business may report paper prints avoided only when it defines the eligible transactions, measurement period and evidence that parallel paper printing did not occur. Estimates must show inputs, units, calculations, uncertainty and limitations.

Source review and limitations

Every external source record states geography, date, claim supported and important limits. We mark outdated, superseded or review-required material and do not silently extend a regional finding worldwide.

Corrections

Material errors are corrected visibly, the updated date changes and the correction record explains what changed. Superseded methodology remains traceable where needed. Report a concern to legal@terragridtech.com or use the corrections page.

Practical checklist

• Identify the exact claim.
• Select the highest available source class.
• Record geography and date.
• State assumptions and uncertainty.
• Separate product evidence from external research.
• Schedule a review date.
