Our Environmental, Social and Governance Commitments
We strongly believe that businesses and their ecosystems have the power to positively impact society and the environment for the better.
The Ivalua Platform itself is our greatest contribution to this vision. Our customers, together with their millions of suppliers, leverage the platform to establish and grow their own Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) programs.
This includes supporting initiatives around sustainability, diversity, labor practices and human rights throughout their supply chains. We have our own commitment to this cause.
