This accolade showcases QIMA’s innovative strategies that enhance supply chain transparency and effective risk management, enabling companies to meet their ESG targets while adeptly navigating the complexities of regulatory requirements and the ever-evolving demands of the market.
The Verdantix Green Quadrant report serves as a vital and comprehensive benchmark for evaluating the leading vendors in the supply chain sector. It highlights the increasing significance of sustainability software in effectively managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks. QIMA’s advanced platform distinguished itself through its exceptional capabilities in supply chain risk assessment, in-depth supplier network analysis, and extensive on-site evaluation abilities, empowering companies to gain deeper insights into their supply chain dynamics and actively engage with suppliers on essential sustainability practices.
Sébastien Breteau, CEO of QIMA, shared his thoughts on the recognition, stating, “We are humbled and delighted to receive this recognition from Verdantix; it reinforces our commitment to developing practical and effective tools that empower our clients to achieve their ESG objectives. As an agent of change at the core of global supply chains, QIMA believes in harnessing the power of technology and field expertise to drive meaningful progress toward a sustainable future.”
Verdantix emphasized the essential nature of sustainability within corporate supply chains by declaring, “Corporations cannot meet their ESG and sustainability goals without untangling the intricacies of their supply chains. Ongoing scrutiny from regulators, investors, and customers, along with higher exposure to environmental and geopolitical risks, has underscored the urgent need for sustainability, procurement, risk, and operations teams to enhance transparency and embed ESG considerations into supply chain decision-making.”
QIMA’s sophisticated solutions seamlessly integrate powerful software with real-world expertise, providing businesses with precise and verified data across their supply chains. Rather than relying solely on self-reported surveys, QIMA’s methodology synthesizes data gathered from on-site visits, alongside third-party information and comprehensive questionnaires, to deliver reliable, actionable insights that enable companies to identify and mitigate risks within their supply chains while enhancing sustainability compliance.
As organizations increasingly prioritize ESG performance, QIMA is poised to lead the charge with innovative solutions that facilitate alignment between clients’ supply chain practices and global sustainability standards, thereby driving compliance and creating a significant impact in the industry.
