The summit seeks to bridge the gap between procurement and sustainability by focusing on the company’s vision of resilience through trusted intelligence. Rather than managing data in isolation, participants will explore how integrated workflows and API 3.0 technologies can embed environmental and social metrics directly into procurement decision-making.

Pierre-François Thaler, co-CEO of EcoVadis, emphasized that the current market rewards those capable of leveraging verified intelligence over those merely collecting high volumes of information. The program is bifurcated into two tracks: a buyer-focused agenda centered on AI-assisted workflows and carbon reliability, and a supplier-centric track designed to convert compliance requirements into strategic business assets. The sessions will also highlight findings from the 2026 Sustainable Procurement Barometer and the evolving role of worker voice in human rights due diligence, reflecting the firm's recent integration of Ulula technology. The virtual event will be accessible in 12 languages, with registration currently open via the company's portal.
