EcoVadis Partners with Workiva to Enhance Carbon Data Network for Sustainability Reporting

A New Era in Sustainability Reporting

In a significant move towards enhancing sustainable supply chains, EcoVadis has partnered with Workiva, a notable player in AI-powered transparency tools, to expand its Carbon Data Network (CDN). This collaboration aims to connect EcoVadis' detailed supplier carbon data with Workiva's robust platform, helping organizations transition from generic industry averages to precise, audit-ready sustainability execution.

This partnership is part of EcoVadis' broader initiative to facilitate procurement teams in including primary carbon emissions data from suppliers directly into their Scope 3 reports. By doing so, it focuses on delivering reliable insights that can assist companies in navigating complex emissions scenarios.

Dexter Galvin, Senior Vice President of Climate at EcoVadis, emphasizes the importance of credible data in tackling climate issues: "Meaningful climate action starts with data you can actually trust. By replacing industry averages with verified supplier insights, we're enabling organizations to master the complexities of Scope 3 emissions." This fresh collaboration represents a crucial progression toward transforming global supply chains—shifting from being a source of carbon risk to a cornerstone of resilience against climate change.

Streamlining Carbon Data Collection and Reporting

The integration of EcoVadis' CDN with Workiva's platform allows companies to centralize their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data seamlessly. This setup enables firms to collect, calculate, and manage carbon data across their value chain with exceptional accuracy typically demanded by investors. The collaboration provides a streamlined interface for supply chain engagement and lays down workflows for decarbonization that are both efficient and transparent.

With EcoVadis acting as the data driving force, suppliers can gain valuable skills and collaborate effectively on sustainability initiatives. Meanwhile, Workiva's capabilities come into play for calculations and disclosures, ensuring that integrated reporting includes both financial and non-financial data within a robust, governed environment. As a result, companies gain a clearer understanding of their supply chain impacts and the dependable data necessary for achieving Net Zero goals.

Mandi McReynolds, Chief Sustainability Officer at Workiva, points out the growing necessity for reliable carbon data: "As sustainability disclosure moves from voluntary to mandatory, companies need more than carbon accounting—they require carbon data that seamlessly integrates with their financials." By combining EcoVadis' leading supplier intelligence in Scope 3 emissions with Workiva's comprehensive platform, businesses can unify their sustainability, financial, and risk data within a single, audit-ready system.

A Collective Commitment to Climate Action

This partnership exemplifies EcoVadis' commitment to knitting together a comprehensive carbon ecosystem. By collaborating with Workiva and other established partners within the Carbon Data Network, EcoVadis aims to foster a synergistic effort to enhance reporting precision, increase transparency, and scale up global climate action effectively.
