EcoVadis partners with Carbmee to enhance supplier emissions data and accelerate decarbonisation

EcoVadis has expanded its Carbon Data Network by adding Carbmee as a strategic partner, in a move the company says will strengthen the quality of supplier emissions data available for Scope 3 reporting.

The latest tie-up follows EcoVadis’ recent partnership with Watershed and adds to existing links with Sweep and Normative, as the company builds what it describes as a more connected carbon data ecosystem. The aim is to reduce reliance on industry averages and replace them wit...

h supplier-specific primary data, which EcoVadis says is essential for more credible emissions reporting and decarbonisation planning.

Dexter Galvin, EcoVadis’ senior vice president and climate ambassador, said meaningful climate action depended on information businesses could trust. In a statement, he said the link with Carbmee would connect EcoVadis’ supplier insights with Carbmee’s analytics tools to help firms turn supply chains from a source of carbon exposure into a driver of climate resilience.

The Carbon Data Network sits within EcoVadis’ Carbon Action Manager, which is designed to help procurement and sustainability teams feed emissions data into carbon accounting and reporting systems. Carbmee brings its AI-based environmental intelligence system to the arrangement, with a focus on identifying carbon hotspots at stock keeping unit level and linking emissions reduction work more closely to financial returns and supply chain automation.

EcoVadis said more than 175,000 companies already use its ratings and carbon management tools. The company argues that broader participation in its network will help organisations move beyond estimates and gather more reliable primary data across their supplier bases.

Pierre-François Thaler, EcoVadis co-founder and co-chief executive, said interoperability was central to the transition to net zero. According to the company, the network is intended to support both regulatory compliance and more detailed Scope 3 analysis by providing a dependable data layer for other tools to build on.

The partnership also fits into a wider industry push for standardised carbon data exchange. EcoVadis has separately linked its work to the Partnership for Carbon Transparency, which is backed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and aims to improve consistency in product-level emissions calculations across value chains. Carbmee has also said it has achieved PACT conformance, underscoring the growing emphasis on shared frameworks as companies face pressure to improve the quality of their climate disclosures.
