Better data. More purposeful action.
Our 2026 Carbon Action Report explores how trusted supplier data can inform better buying decisions and stronger climate action. I contributed a foreword on the need to connect emissions reductions, supplier engagement and resilience.

What happens
after disclosure?
Suppliers spend a great deal of time reporting carbon data. At EcoVadis, I work on the partnerships and approaches that help buyers and suppliers put it to use.
Quentin Fornezzo and I coauthored Beyond Disclosure, our guide to the evidence behind supplier emissions data.

Climate impacts and supply-chain resilience
What I bring to the conversation
Climate ambition
Commercial decisions
Climate action runs through everyday business relationships: what buyers ask for, what suppliers can deliver and what finance makes possible.
01 / Corporate climate action
A target is a beginning
The test comes in the decisions that follow: how a company invests, what it makes and buys, and whether emissions actually fall.
Bring this to your audience02 / Supply-chain action
Make the relationship count
Purchasing power, useful data and access to finance can give suppliers both a reason to act and the means to do it.
Bring this to your audience03 / Sustainable finance
Put finance behind the transition
Credible climate information should help companies and investors decide what to fund, and give businesses the means to make progress.
Bring this to your audience04 / Climate resilience
Prepare for the climate ahead
Reducing emissions and adapting to climate impacts belong in the same conversation. Water, forests and supplier resilience are part of it.
