We welcome ecotrek’s entrepreneurial team, technology and expertise into our purpose and culture,” said Pierre-François Thaler, co-CEO at EcoVadis. “This is an important step forward as we ramp up our investment in technology and sustainability intelligence capabilities that we are excited to bring to our global customer base.”
ecotrek’s SDM expands upon EcoVadis’ technical capabilities with automated data collection, scanning, analysis, and classification of a company’s sustainability information. This enables EcoVadis to provide even smarter and faster predictive intelligence to optimize sustainability risk management strategies. It also enables EcoVadis to enhance the quality and experience in its ratings while boosting process efficiency for improving the engagement journey with value chain partners. The combined product suite will provide an end-to-end offering from risk classification and monitoring to supplier sustainability performance improvement.
“We shaped and validated our technology around a deep and growing market need for easing and accelerating sustainability insights.

"By joining forces with EcoVadis, our customers will realize huge benefits in product growth, ability to scale and enable them to integrate sustainability into their procurement processes quickly for maximum impact.”
In light of rising regulations, such as the German Supply Chain Act and the imminent European Directive on supply chain due diligence, the combined end-to-end offerings give customers a giant head start over their peers on monitoring and improving their supply chain to be not only compliant with this law, but to thrive in the new responsible business environment.
ecotrek’s four co-founders brought together their backgrounds in software, engineering, and applied science to create the company in 2020. They and their entire team will join the EcoVadis business and merge with the EcoVadis team in Germany. For more details, contact EcoVadis .
