Core Features
EcoVadis’s Carbon Action Manager is built to support collaborative, supplier-centric carbon engagement rather than acting as a pure internal carbon ledger. Its design emphasizes scalability, data reliability, visibility, and supplier empowerment. In this model, you can invite suppliers at varying levels of maturity, benchmark performance, and track improvement over time.
Its major features include:
Carbon Heatmap & Risk Insights: Visualize and flag emissions hotspots across your supplier network by geography, industry, or emission intensity, helping you prioritize engagement.
Supplier Carbon Rating / Scorecard: Issue evidence-based carbon assessments to suppliers (via questionnaire + documentation) and present them with performance scorecards showing strengths, weaknesses, and benchmarks.
Corrective Action Plans & Improvement Tracking: Assign improvement actions, track supplier progress over time, and monitor KPIs tied to emissions reduction goals.
Metrics & Reporting Dashboards: Consolidate emissions data (Scope 1/2/3) and track performance via dashboards, exportable reports, and trend analytics.
Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Data Exchange: Enable supplier-level, product-level emissions data exchange using PACT standards, supporting more granular Scope 3 attribution.
E-learning & Capability Building: Offer training modules, guidance, and courses via EcoVadis Academy to help suppliers ramp up their carbon management maturity.
Closing Insights
Many organizations across sectors already use or pilot EcoVadis’s carbon engagement tools. For instance, a manufacturing firm with complex Tier 2/3 suppliers might employ Carbon Action Manager to uncover hidden emissions in raw material sourcing, while a retail brand might expect its logistics and goods suppliers to commit to carbon scorecards. Companies such as Toyota Material Handling Europe and Groupe Sterne/Novea have applied the solution to assess supplier maturity and coordinate decarbonization efforts.
Recent developments have further expanded the solution’s capabilities. In 2025, EcoVadis launched its Carbon Data Network (CDN), a verified supplier data exchange that enables access to reliable, primary emissions data. It also formed partnerships with carbon accounting vendors like Normative to enhance interoperability and reduce duplicate data entry. Additionally, the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Data Exchange enables product-level emissions sharing across the value chain, aligning with PACT standards.
EcoVadis also provides consulting and training through the EcoVadis Academy and partner ecosystem, supporting onboarding, supplier engagement strategy, and performance improvement initiatives. Together, these developments position Carbon Action Manager as a cornerstone for enterprise-wide, collaborative decarbonization.
