Case Study: VMware achieves scalable sustainable procurement improvement with EcoVadis

Technology Companies Succeed with a Data-Driven Approach to Sustainable Procurement

The customer, a large technology company, uses EcoVadis to address the challenge of embedding sustainability and resilience into its vast global supply chain. The company faced high visibility and expectations from stakeholders, risks from supply chain disruptions, and the need to mitigate its significant environmental impact, over 80% of which originates from its suppliers. EcoVadis provides sustainability ratings and intelligence to help the company gain transparency and drive improvement.

EcoVadis implemented its data-driven ratings platform, enabling the customer to assess and monitor thousands of its suppliers across environmental, social, and ethical criteria. The solution provided comprehensive sustainability intelligence, facilitated supplier engagement, and offered tools like the Carbon Action Module for deeper impact. As a result, the company is now on track to meet its ambitious goals, such as having 75% of its annual spend with suppliers who have set science-based targets by 2025, leveraging EcoVadis to measure progress and drive meaningful change.
