CONCORD, Mass., May 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ProcessUnity, a leading provider of cloud-based applications for risk and compliance management, today launched ProcessUnity Vendor ESG Intelligence (VEI) powered by EcoVadis. The newest addition to the ProcessUnity Vendor Intelligence Suite integrates EcoVadis’ ratings and scorecard content into the ProcessUnity Vendor Risk Management platform to provide actionable insights on environmental, social and ethical risks during initial vendor onboarding and post-contract due diligence.
“ESG-related risk is an emerging concern for many organizations – one that requires greater insight into a vendor’s environmental and social practices to ensure compliance with evolving regional and global regulations,” said Todd Boehler, Senior Vice President of Strategy at ProcessUnity. “With the combination of EcoVadis’ sustainability ratings and ProcessUnity Vendor Risk Management, organizations can be certain they are getting a wholistic view of ESG compliance within their vendor population.”
EcoVadis’ sustainability ratings evaluate vendors across seven key management indicators and 21 sustainability criteria in four key themes – environment; labor and human rights; ethics; and sustainable procurement. Using a pre-built connector, ProcessUnity VEI seamlessly integrates EcoVadis’ ratings into its vendor risk management automation platform to streamline vendor risk review processes pre- and post-contract. By incorporating visibility, sustainability performance and supply chain benchmarking, ProcessUnity VEI helps third-party risk teams reduce external risk throughout the vendor lifecycle.
“Many companies are under tremendous pressure to improve upon their transparency and sustainability practices,” said Daniel Perry, Global Alliances Director at EcoVadis. “By integrating EcoVadis’ ratings, ProcessUnity is helping mutual customers identify risks, improve their performance and work toward a more sustainable future.”
