True Pricing

In a world where sustainability and fairness are becoming increasingly important, True Pricing offers a revolutionary way to reveal the true costs of products and services. For PR-tech companies, this means transparency in pricing and impact, combined with a mindful approach that goes beyond traditional models.

What is True Pricing?

True Pricing is a method for calculating the hidden costs of products and services, including their impact on the environment, social conditions, and fair wages. In the PR-tech sector, True Pricing enables companies to show clients exactly where their investments are going. This not only provides financial clarity but also enhances the company’s sustainability and integrity.

Pioneer of fair labor pricing

A fair price for labor recognizes the true value of human effort, ensuring that workers not only receive a living wage but also gain appreciation and security for their contributions. Pioneering organizations in this field strive for transparency and fairness by basing salary scales on social and economic impact. This means paying wages that not only meet legal requirements but also reflect the real costs of living and contribute to an equitable society. Pioneers in fair pricing demonstrate that ethics and profitability can go hand in hand, inspiring others to embrace sustainable change in workplace culture.
