Case Study: Calix achieves 100% direct supplier coverage with EcoVadis

Smart Procurement Greater Impact and Stronger Growth

Calix, a US-based technology company, faced challenges in driving sustainability across its supply chain with limited internal resources. Suppliers were not progressing quickly enough on sustainability goals, manual processes were inefficient, and compliance with regulations like the UFLPA was complex. Calix turned to EcoVadis to gain a better way to assess supplier risk and improve overall transparency.

EcoVadis provided structure through its Ratings and IQ Plus solutions, which streamlined data collection and risk mapping. The platform helped identify gaps and its Academy improved supplier fluency in sustainability. As a result, Calix achieved 100% direct supplier coverage and 96% indirect coverage, with 60% of reassessed suppliers showing improvement and an average score of 58. EcoVadis enabled Calix to efficiently meet its due diligence goals and strengthen its brand credibility.
