The partnership will move EcoVadis ratings and scores directly into the buying workflow, alongside pricing, benchmarks and negotiation intelligence provided by Vertice.
LONDON and PARIS, 27 October 2026: EcoVadis, the global standard for resilient sustainable supply chains, today announced a partnership with Vertice, the AI procurement platform built for the modern enterprise, becoming EcoVadis’ first AI procurement orchestration partner.
EcoVadis ESG ratings and scores will be available throughout Vertice procurement workflows, alongside Vertice’s own data on pricing, peer benchmarks, contract terms and risk. Procurement teams will now be able to make buying decisions based on the most comprehensive vendor context, immediately within the procurement workflow.
EcoVadis sustainability rating is a globally recognized hallmark of ESG performance. But ratings are only as valuable as the trust behind them. The latest ERM Sustainability Institute’s Rate the Raters survey, assessing ESG ratings providers, put that trust to the test. Across 14 providers, EcoVadis ranked in the top 3 for both quality and usefulness amongst corporates and investors.
“A resilient supply chain relies on sustainable procurement. By embedding trusted, verified sustainability data directly into the purchasing workflow, our partnership with Vertice ensures ESG impact is evaluated right alongside price and commercial terms – every time a decision is made.” Annette Gevaert, SVP Alliances & Partnerships at EcoVadis.
Vertice’s procurement intelligence dataset - the largest of its kind - covers 250,000+ negotiated contracts, $75 billion+ in global indirect spend, and 2 million+ price points across 32,000+ SaaS vendors.
The partnership is already taking shape with shared customers, including Capita, the LSE-listed international business process outsourcing and professional services company.
"Vertice powers AI procurement orchestration at Capita, and EcoVadis provides trusted sustainability ratings for our suppliers. Together, the integration of EcoVadis ratings within Vertice's AI procurement platform embeds supplier ESG performance into every procurement decision, ensuring sustainability considerations are evaluated alongside cost, risk and commercial factors." Suraj Naik, Group Procurement Director and Chief Procurement Officer at Capita.
“Sustainability commitments are won or lost in everyday purchasing decisions. In our 2026 IDC MarketScape, Vertice was recognized as a Leader for grounding its AI in real-world outcomes, not just process. Bringing EcoVadis’ verified ratings on more than 175,000 companies into that same workflow extends these outcomes to ESG, giving procurement teams a far more complete view of every supplier they buy from.” Patrick Reymann, Research Director - Procurement Applications and Agents at IDC.
This year, Vertice has been named a Leader by IDC in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Spend Orchestration 2026; a Notable Vendor in Forrester’s 2026 Landscape report on Supplier Value Management; and the Leader in Lionfish’s Intake-to-Procure market evaluation report. This analyst recognition has been validated by customer feedback on G2, the world’s largest B2B software review site, with their reviews leading to Vertice being placed first in Procurement Orchestration in both the Summer and Fall 2026 Grid Reports.
“Our customers want to be able to consistently make the best purchasing decisions, through an AI-native platform and based on a single view of the most comprehensive intelligence. Partnering with EcoVadis helps us to do that. Our agentic AI orchestration platform can now deliver robust and extensive ESG data alongside our own data on price, commercial terms and wider risk factors to hit both ESG objectives and cost savings goals. Customers will receive a more comprehensive view of their vendors, meaning smarter, more rounded purchasing decisions every time.” Roy Tuvey, CEO and Founder of Vertice.
