Why PRAXTERRA

Built for companies that want to start, not just plan

FREE

Free and complete

The full standard, every requirement and every scoring rule is free. Nothing essential is hidden behind a purchase.

EASY

Easy to start

Begin with Level 1 using the records you already keep. Plain language, practical examples, no special software.

ONE

One system, not five projects

Environment, safety, fair work, suppliers, honest claims and resilience in one coherent management system.

CLEAR

Results you can explain

A transparent score at each level, the gaps that remain, and exactly what to do next. Calculate it yourself or use the optional Excel tool.

Five levels · one clear path

Start where you are. Improve step by step.

Every subject applies from Level 1. Higher levels ask for stronger evidence, never new topics. Each level has its own score, so you always know where you stand and what comes next.
