It’s certainly been a few busy weeks for the policymakers in the EU and elsewhere: ✳ After weeks of speculation, the EU decided to delay the #EUDR by 12 months. ✳ Alongside introducing requirements to minimize the bloc’s contribution to deforestation, the EU bans products made with forced labor. ✳ China and South Africa set to introduce #ESG reporting regimes. ✳ The European Commission published a set of FAQs to support the implementation of the #EUTaxonomy and announced to include it in an #omnibus package.

Today, EcoVadis welcomes two experts helping to shape the future of carbon reporting, Antoine Verger and Varena Junge! Together, their expertise will build upon our holistic supply chain decarbonization strategy to help organizations increase the availability and quality of granular carbon data at the product level. At EcoVadis, we are dedicated to providing reliable sustainability insights that help businesses mitigate risks, drive improvements, and accelerate progress toward a low-carbon economy. The hiring of Antoine and Varena is part of our ongoing commitment to expand on this vision and push the boundaries on GHG emission reduction strategies. The two will be tasked with developing a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) tool as part of EcoVadis’ Carbon Action Manager solution that already supports growing carbon maturity across supply chains. This comes at an incredibly important time where organizations are facing increasing regulatory pressures to meet new carbon reporting requirements. The next evolution of our Carbon Action Manager and PCF tool will help organizations build the foundation they need to report on product-level emissions at every stage of their decarbonization journeys. We are thrilled to have Antoine and Varena on board to accelerate the next generation of GHG emission reductions here at EcoVadis, and look forward to the impact they will have in helping our team shape the future of carbon management! https://ecovad.is/4g7Wcrr #Sustainability #NetZero #CarbonFootprint

As companies rethink their supply chains to prioritize #resilience in the face of the persistent global polycrisis, it has become clear that sustainable #procurement has a key role to play in improving that resilience. And the leaders in sustainability are going further: they’re finding that making supply chains greener isn’t just a way to fend off external threats or respond to pressure from regulators. Done right, sustainable procurement offers a source of value that can help transform entire organizations. Here are some of the key arguments for leaders in any organization to embrace sustainable #supplychains, and aspects of responsible purchasing that appeal to the goals of each role within the executive team. https://lnkd.in/dCiG4H6f

Join us tomorrow for our Solution Spotlight webinar and discover how EcoVadis Carbon Action Manager can empower your carbon action journey. The implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has accelerated the urgency to decarbonize supply chains. However, only 14% of companies are currently on track to meet their emissions reduction targets. The core challenge lies in addressing the emissions embedded deep within supply chains. For many organizations, engaging suppliers—often at varying levels of carbon management maturity—to reliably measure and report emissions remains a significant hurdle. In this session, we’ll show you how to: ✅ Identify carbon hotspots and prioritize supplier engagement ✅ Assess supplier carbon maturity with tailored evaluations ✅ Collect primary and product-level emissions data to improve Scope 3 calculations ✅ Drive actionable reductions with scalable collaboration and customized plans Simplify supplier engagement, support CBAM compliance, and make real progress toward decarbonization goals! 📍 Register here: https://ecovad.is/3CVlw5n
