EcoVadis’ Coupa Connector Empowers Procurement Teams to Embed Sustainability into Every Purchasing Decision
The integration enables mutual customers to drive strategic purchasing and supplier relationship management decisions more efficiently on the Coupa platform
EcoVadis, the globally trusted sustainability intelligence platform, announced it will offer a Coupa Connector in the Coupa App Marketplace. The Coupa Connector seamlessly synchronizes EcoVadis sustainability ratings and risk profile data with each supplier’s Coupa profile, so buyers can make strategic purchasing and supplier relationship management decisions based on a supplier’s sustainability risk, performance, and maturity.

A study of buyers and suppliers across the world shows that digital integration is a proven accelerator of sustainability-enhanced decisions, value, and impact. Programs with high integration are three to four times more likely to have strategic-level engagement with C-suite decision-makers. The Coupa Connector integrates EcoVadis’ Ratings and IQ Plus data directly into the Coupa platform, allowing customers to analyze sustainability insights — as well as make requests for supplier ratings and IQ risk profiles — directly from their Coupa interface. This empowers customers to make tactical and strategic decisions that, over time, deepen supplier engagement and scale their potential for sustainable impact. EcoVadis Ratings data is based on validated deep dive assessments of 130,000+ companies in 220+ industries. IQ Plus data is based on inherent risk assessments and contactless AI data mining of more than 2 million companies worldwide.\
