Blue Yonder has been placed in Verdantix’s Green Quadrant as a leader in supply chain sustainability software, a recognition that underlines how environmental metrics are becoming embedded in day-to-day operational decision-making rather than confined to reporting.
Verdantix said the company’s strength lies in folding sustainability functions directly into planning and execution tools used by supply chain teams. That means businesses can compare carbon emissions, waste and ...

ESG risk with familiar measures such as cost and service when making procurement, logistics and production choices. The analyst firm also noted that Blue Yonder’s platform is designed to give organisations clearer visibility of emissions across complex supply chains, while helping them test alternative suppliers, materials and transport routes.
The report also pointed to Blue Yonder’s use of AI agents, with the Orchestrator agent described as a coordination layer for managing multiple agents and surfacing natural-language insights tied to environmental indicators. Elisa Molero, senior analyst at Verdantix, wrote that the system helps firms track progress, bring carbon and waste into supply chain planning, and support initiatives such as shifting freight from air to sea.
Blue Yonder says its sustainability software covers areas including logistics emissions calculation, transport carbon optimisation, manufacturing sustainability, retail planning sustainability and supplier traceability and risk management. The company also highlights its Logistics Emissions Calculator, which it says automates carbon measurement across multimodal transport and uses a methodology accredited by GLEC and aligned with ISO 14083.
Supply chain sustainability has moved up the corporate agenda as firms look beyond disclosure towards operational change, especially in emissions accounting, where data can be hard to standardise across transport networks, factories and supplier tiers. According to Verdantix’s 2026 report, the market is shifting towards business value, resilience and cost control, with AI increasingly seen as a differentiator because it can connect supplier and product data earlier and automate more processes.
Blue Yonder, which says it works with more than 3,000 retailers, manufacturers and logistics service providers, is positioning sustainability as part of ordinary supply chain workflows rather than a separate compliance exercise. Saskia van Gendt, its chief sustainability officer, said the recognition reflected a wider move away from pure reporting and towards measurable cuts in waste and carbon. She said embedding sustainability in planning and execution systems could help companies reduce waste, strengthen resilience, improve efficiency and protect profitability in volatile conditions.
