EcoVadis and Workiva partner to enhance supplier-specific carbon data in sustainability reports

EcoVadis has struck a strategic partnership with Workiva in a move designed to bring more supplier-specific carbon data into corporate sustainability reporting.

The agreement will link EcoVadis’ primary supplier emissions data with Workiva’s AI-powered platform, allowing joint customers to move away from broad industry averages and towards more detailed, audit-ready disclosures. EcoVadis said the tie-up is part of its wider effort to build a Carbon Data Network, a system in...

tended to help procurement teams feed suppliers’ actual emissions data directly into Scope 3 reporting.

The partnership also strengthens EcoVadis’ Carbon Action Manager offering, which includes its Product Carbon Footprint Calculator, alongside tools aimed at supplier input, collaboration and capability-building. The company says the aim is to make carbon reporting more grounded in verified data and easier to integrate into everyday supply-chain management.

Dexter Galvin, senior vice-president for climate at EcoVadis, said the effort was about replacing estimates with supplier-level intelligence and making Scope 3 reporting more reliable. Workiva chief sustainability officer Mandi McReynolds said the integration would help companies bring sustainability, risk and financial data together in a governed system suited to assurance and board-level reporting.

The deal reflects a broader push across the market for more traceable emissions data as sustainability disclosure rules become stricter and companies face growing pressure to prove the quality of their reporting. EcoVadis says the Workiva link is one more step in building what it describes as a more interconnected carbon ecosystem, with the goal of improving transparency and accelerating credible net-zero plans.
