The collaboration is intended to support decarbonisation across pharmaceutical supply chains. Suppliers linked to the RHI can now access training and guidance for climate action through Energize. Scale of Scope 3 emissions. According to EcoVadis, Scope 3 emissions are 21 times larger than Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined for the average company. The organisation states that ignoring these emissions could cost companies more than US$500bn in annual liabilities by 2030. Within the healthcare sector specifically, EcoVadis reports that only 6% of companies have a plan in place to move toward low-carbon operations and supply chains. This gap could mean there is scope for healthcare companies to develop emissions reduction plans and engage further with climate action. Steve Wilhite, Executive Vice President at SE Advisory Services, writes on LinkedIn: "Supply chain decarbonisation is too complex for any one organisation to tackle alone. So Supply Chain Digital is celebrating a new milestone in its collaboration with EcoVadis. "Suppliers participating in their Responsible Health Initiative can now join its Energize programme. Led by SE Advisory Services, the programme provides training for decarbonisation efforts across global pharmaceutical value chains. "Bringing together healthcare leaders, suppliers and sustainability experts creates a powerful opportunity to address some of the most significant Scope 3 emissions challenges facing the industry. Collaboration remains one of the most effective ways to scale climate action." How the RHI operates.

EcoVadis and World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance reduce supply chain risk through sustainable procurement. - Deputy Head of Editorial Published: Jul 6, 2026 EcoVadis and the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance team up in a strategic partnership to strengthen industrial resilience and mitigate supply chain risk through environmentally focused procurement practices, ultimately advancing responsible procurement in global hospitality markets. Driving industry-wide progress. EcoVadis and the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (the Alliance) have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at advancing sustainability practices across the global hospitality sector. Bringing together the Alliance's network of 66,000 hotels and eight million rooms with EcoVadis' sustainability assessment expertise, the collaboration is intended to provide hospitality organisations with a more consistent approach to responsible procurement. As EcoVadis becomes the Alliance's preferred sustainable procurement partner, members will gain access to a scalable framework designed to improve supply chain transparency whilst supporting wider decarbonisation initiatives. Strengthening Responsible Procurement. The partnership focuses on three core priorities intended to support both hospitality businesses and their suppliers. The first centres on improving supplier performance by expanding the use of EcoVadis supplier assessments across the Alliance's global network. This will provide suppliers with objective sustainability evaluations and practical improvement pathways, whilst enabling procurement teams to identify supply chain risks more effectively. A second priority is the standardisation of decarbonisation efforts. Through the EcoVadis Carbon Action Manager, the partnership seeks to reduce duplicated reporting requirements and deliver assurance-ready Scope 3 emissions insights, helping organisations progress towards decarbonisation in line with frameworks such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The collaboration will also promote unified ethical standards by aligning the Alliance's existing frameworks with EcoVadis' human rights solutions. The objective is to strengthen human rights practices, ethical recruitment, and worker welfare throughout hospitality supply chains. "This partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to drive responsible procurement in hospitality," said Annette Gevaert, SVP Alliances and Strategic Initiatives at EcoVadis. Building A more resilient sector. According to the organisations, the partnership responds to the growing fragmentation of sustainability initiatives across the hospitality industry. By combining the Alliance's measurement standards, including HCMI and Vera-FY, with EcoVadis' sustainability intelligence, the collaboration is designed to provide hotel groups with a unified framework to manage risk and build more resilient supply chains. "Sustainability is no longer a peripheral ambition; it is the bedrock of future-proofing our industry," said Glenn Mandziuk, President and CEO at the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance. Supporting Responsible Procurement. The agreement also strengthens the Hospitality Alliance for Responsible Procurement (HARP), an initiative launched by EcoVadis in 2023 alongside leading global hospitality organisations. Whilst HARP will continue to operate independently as an autonomous, antitrust-compliant network, the Alliance will support the initiative by endorsing its established methodologies. Through its industry reach, the Alliance aims to encourage wider adoption of responsible procurement practices and contribute towards a more consistent standard across the hospitality sector.
