**June 2022** – Celonis said it has formed a strategic partnership with EcoVadis, a leading business sustainability ratings platform, to operationalise sustainable procurement.

Under [the partnership](https://www.celonis.com/ems/ems-store/ecovadis-sustainable-supplier-management/?), Celonis Execution Management System (EMS) will integrate EcoVadis ratings. The partnership includes four pillars:

- **Data-driven supplier selection**: EcoVadis’ supplier sustainability ratings will be integrated with Celonis EMS to provide businesses a dashboard to view supplier sustainability and proactive suggestions on the best supplier for any orders. Those supplier decisions can then be audited.
- **Managing supplier onboarding and performance:** By melding the EcoVadis catalog of sustainable suppliers with Celonis EMS, businesses will be able to onboard compliant suppliers and offboard ones with poor performance.
- **Reporting on sustainable procurement spending:** Celonis EMS will integrate EcoVadis sustainability data across multiple views and filtering options to comply with legal regulations including [California’s Transparency in Supply Chains Act](https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/sb657/resource-guide.pdf) or the [German Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains](https://www.bmas.de/EN/Services/Press/recent-publications/2021/act-on-corporate-due-diligence-in-supply-chains.html#:~:text=On%203%20March%202021%2C%20Germany)).
- **Sustainable transparency in sales:** The partnership will provide transparency on a product’s ESG performance for end customers by sharing average supplier ratings.
