Case Study: Jakala drives ESG compliance and ROI with EcoVadis

How Jakala's Supplier Collaboration Turns ESG into ROI

Jakala, a Milan-based consulting firm, faced challenges in managing the ESG performance of its vast and complex global supply chain. They struggled to engage diverse suppliers on varied regulatory requirements and collect accurate data, particularly for scope 3 emissions. To mitigate risk and ensure compliance with directives like the CSRD, they partnered with the sustainability vendor EcoVadis.

EcoVadis provided a full suite of solutions including Ratings, IQ Plus with Vitals, Carbon Action Manager, and the EcoVadis Academy. This implementation allowed Jakala to monitor 75% of its annual spend, identify risk hotspots, and support supplier decarbonization and training. The results were significant: 67% of their assessed suppliers improved their sustainability scores, and Jakala itself earned a Gold Medal from EcoVadis. This achievement directly contributed to generating over €37 million in new revenue from clients who monitor EcoVadis performance.
