Leading supplier diversity solutions provider solves ESG data fragmentation by bringing global sustainability certifications, policies, and data into a single platform

In a world where sustainability and corporate responsibility are no longer optional, Supplier.io announces its strategic expansion into the ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) domain. Now, the global leader in Supplier Diversity Data and Management solutions will offer procurement teams a one-stop shop for responsible spending across the supply chain.

The new solution radically simplifies how organizations track, manage, and expand their responsible sourcing efforts by providing a single, unified platform for sustainability, social and diversity certifications, and measuring economic and environmental impact. Supplier.io’s database is the largest in the world and includes over four million suppliers and five million certifications. As part of the expansion, the platform will also include nearly 8,000 B Lab Certified B Corporations across 89 countries, over 4,000 Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) scores, and over 3000 Green Business Network companies, in addition to Fair Trade and many other sustainability certifications.

“The expansion into ESG is a testament to our commitment to not only meet the current demands of the industry but to anticipate and shape its future. We have always been at the forefront of supplier diversity, and it is only natural for us to incorporate ESG, an area of growing global significance,” said Aylin Basom, CEO of Supplier.io.

“Foundational to ESG supply chain success is data, and the ability to engage with and monitor that data to guide the architecture and refinement of the supply base and beyond to the supply network. Solution providers like Supplier.io, where data is core to their offering, have the opportunity to be key enablers of this success,” said Chris Sawchuk at The Hackett Group.
