The leading third-party risk management platform, Certa, has announced its official partnership with the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, EcoVadis. The integration will allow Certa customers to see the EcoVadis ratings of their third-party suppliers at a glance within one integrated platform.
Sustainability is a growing focus area for many organizations. According to a recent McKinsey report, two-thirds of ESG compliance lies within the supply chain, making transparency and accountability within the chain a key factor to achieving corporate conservation goals. Certa’s integration with EcoVadis has created a game-changing value proposition that enables companies to assess and prioritize partners who contribute to the greater sustainability of the corporation.
“ESG is top of mind for our clients,” stated Certa founder and CEO Jag Lamba. “This partnership enables Certa clients to add EcoVadis sustainability ratings into their supplier lifecycle management workflow with one click. This added governance helps bring visibility into the entire supply chain and helps corporations remedy any roadblocks.”
Certa’s software can automate and orchestrate entire workflows across business requestors, procurement, compliance, information security, privacy, and finance. By utilizing task queues, parallel approval flow, and in-app messaging, Certa’s centralized platform keeps all parties connected and compliant at all times.
“As sustainability has become the leading topic of transformation for most organizations, they are realizing that the supply chain is one of their most powerful levers for driving positive change,” said David McClintock, Global Director of Content Marketing from EcoVadis. “Adding EcoVadis ratings into Certa’s greater procurement workflow will enable clients to integrate reliable insights of third-party partners’ sustainability practices directly into onboarding decisions. The easy-to-use scorecards and tools help clients collaborate with their suppliers to prioritize and monitor their improvement journey across key topics including environmental and carbon footprint, working conditions, social practices, and ethics.”
