Responsibly

Core Features

Responsibly’s approach combines automated evidence gathering with configurable, procurement-specific evaluation. It emphasizes topic-level transparency, risk-led prioritization, and continuous updates, and can plug into existing systems via API. Its main features include:

• Supplier Data Hub: A consolidated, continuously updated ESG profile for every supplier, including key initiatives and risks.

• Procurement-Tailored ESG Scores: Transparent, customizable scoring that highlights what is (and isn’t) performing, rather than opaque, composite ratings.

• Risk Engine & Compliance Sync: Granular topic-level risk data mapped to current legislation to help meet due-diligence requirements.

• Automated Supplier Engagement: Risk-prioritized, personalized requests that pre-fill with known data to boost response rates and cut supplier effort.

• Decarbonization for Procurement: “Supplier decarb scores” to compare emissions performance and integrate climate targets into purchasing.

• APIs & Ecosystem Integration: Bi-directional REST API to sync supplier tables and push Responsibly outputs into ERP/procurement tools.

Closing Insights

Responsibly was founded in 2021 to make “every purchase responsible” by bringing sustainability onto the supplier scorecard with less manual work. Its team positions AI to discover evidence across the ESG landscape and replace one-size-fits-all surveys with targeted, topic-level assessments that procurement can act on. That focus on transparency over “black box” ratings, and on workflows rather than investor-style scoring, is a key differentiator.

Adoption spans manufacturers and food companies such as Chr. Hansen, Intersteel and Collectiv Food, reflecting varied supplier footprints and compliance contexts. In 2023 the company raised a US $2.4 million seed round led by Hambro Perks and Pi Labs to deepen its AI and expand data coverage. Industry recognition includes listing as a Gartner Cool Vendor and in the ProcureTech100, reinforcing its relevance for procurement leaders seeking scalable supplier ESG due diligence.

Responsibly appears a strong option for teams seeking procurement-ready ESG signals without losing the underlying evidence. The product includes a continuously updated Supplier Data Hub, risk and compliance mapping, and automated engagement; it also provides a REST API to integrate with ERP/procurement systems. These capabilities are increasingly important in a regulatory environment that demands transparent, traceable supply chain data, allowing organizations to meet due-diligence obligations while maintaining a clear view of supplier performance and progress.
