Workiva & EcoVadis Partnership: Your Questions, Answered!
被推荐的Let’s be honest—gathering accurate Scope 3 data often feels like chasing a moving target. If you’re tired of chasing down suppliers or relying on generic industry averages for your Purchased Goods and Services (PGS) calculations, you are definitely not alone.
That’s why we are absolutely thrilled to share that Workiva and EcoVadis have officially partnered to bring primary supplier carbon emissions data straight into your workspace! 🎉
As the first phase of a long-term collaboration to bridge the gap between supplier performance and corporate reporting, our team is in the early stages of designing and developing a direct integration between EcoVadis and the Workiva Platform. Our future vision is to allow mutual customers to automatically feed primary emissions data right into their Scope 3 calculations—completely skipping the manual copy-and-paste headache.
🚀Looking Ahead: Our Evolving Supply Chain Vision
As we kick off this new partnership, our product strategy is designed to grow alongside our customers' needs. Here is a directional look at how we are conceptualizing our long-term supply chain capabilities:
- Short-Term Vision: Connect supplier-level carbon emissions data via API Chains to power Scope 3 PGS calculations in Workiva Carbon.
- Long-Term Vision: We are exploring the development of a Workiva Supplier Hub—a centralized management portal intended to consolidate quantitative metrics and qualitative ratings from EcoVadis, CDP, SBTi, and other frameworks. As this partnership evolves, we also hope to explore deeper workflow efficiencies, such as the capability to manage EcoVadis scorecards directly within the Workiva platform.
✅How to Prepare
While the integration is being built, here is how you can prepare your workspaces today so you're ready to hit the ground running once available:
- Check Your Licensing: To use this integration, you’ll just need your organization’s EcoVadis Carbon Action Manager license and a Workiva solution that supports Chains (which is already included in Sustainability Reporting and Carbon solutions!).

📢We Want Your Feedback!
We are incredibly excited about this partnership, but what matters most is how it works for you. As we actively build out the upcoming Supplier Hub, your insights will directly shape the features we design next.
- As we look to build out a centralized Supplier Hub, what features or views would be a "must-have" for your procurement or sustainability teams?
- Are there other supply chain frameworks you are currently tracking manually that you'd love to see automated alongside EcoVadis in the future?
We can’t wait to see how this helps you streamline your ESG data journey!

Are there any additional integrations with EcoVadis planned? It would be great to have something like CDP in the system to automate our disclosures.

Hi Jessica!
Love this question. It’s great to hear you're already using the CDP disclosure integration. That workflow is such a huge timesaver!
You’re thinking along the same lines we are. Down the road, we'd love to look into those same kinds of workflow efficiencies for EcoVadis disclosures and scorecards. But because this partnership is so new, our first order of business is getting primary supplier data into the platform to power your Scope 3 calculations.
We're still in the early planning stages for anything beyond that, but knowing how much you value the CDP setup is super helpful context. I’ll make sure our product team hears this so they know exactly what's top of mind for you.
Thanks for helping us shape where we take this next!
