Assent Platform

Core Features

Assent’s approach is purpose-built for complex manufacturers: it couples a large sustainability data network with expert-driven workflows and supplier education to collect verifiable evidence from deep in the supply chain, then links that data back to products and parts through enterprise integrations. Some of its main features are:

• CBAM data capture & reporting — Collect supplier-level emissions for EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism declarations and streamline import reporting.

• EUDR due diligence — Identify in-scope products, capture geolocations and traceability evidence, analyze deforestation risk, and prepare the EU due-diligence statement.

• PFAS & restricted substances — Detect and manage regulated substances (e.g., PFAS), and support regimes such as REACH/RoHS/SCIP with large-scale parts data handling.

• Packaging EPR reporting — Centralize packaging data, validate inputs, estimate fees, and generate compliance-ready reports as laws expand.

• Supplier portal & engagement — Multilingual supplier training, webinars, and help center reduce burden and improve response rates and data quality.

• ERP/PLM integrations — Two-way APIs with systems like SAP and PTC Windchill connect supplier evidence to products and parts.

Closing Insights

Assent’s roots are in Ottawa (founded 2010 as Assent Compliance) with a clear mission to make complex manufacturing supply chains “deeply and durably” sustainable. What differentiates the company isn’t a single module but the pairing of a multi-tier data network with in-house regulatory expertise and supplier education, so manufacturers can defend decisions with evidence when standards tighten or auditors ask for proof. Independent validation has followed: Verdantix named Assent a Leader in its first Green Quadrant for Product Compliance Software (2025), and Assent is a Certified B Corporation, underscoring governance and transparency commitments.

Customer stories illustrate impact beyond checkbox compliance. Metals distributor Ryerson reports major time savings after centralizing outreach and responses through Assent; fan manufacturer Revcor uses Assent to turn rapid, accurate product data into customer confidence; Doosan Bobcat has been recognized through Assent’s Achieve program for building a proactive product-compliance culture. Together these examples show how environmental due diligence can speed sales cycles and reduce operational drag when supplier engagement is structured and repeatable.

Why consider Assent? For most teams, the draw is an ecosystem around the platform: supplier training and webinars for topics like CBAM and PFAS; managed and advisory services; and enterprise integrations with systems such as SAP and PTC Windchill. Assent also participates in AWS’s ISV Accelerate, which can simplify procurement via AWS Marketplace. If the priority is credible, product-level environmental data with strong change-management support, Assent’s combination of software, services, and supplier enablement is designed to scale.
