レジリア moves toward centralized management of supply chain risks and environmental assessments

レジリア (Minato-ku, Tokyo) and EcoVadis (France) announced on 29 October that they had signed a memorandum of understanding to support supply-chain risk management and sustainability initiatives at Japanese companies. The collaboration will incorporate EcoVadis supplier assessment data into Resilire's mapping function, enabling procurement personnel to review risk information and sustainability assessments in the same environment.

Resilire can visualize multilayered supplier relationships beyond direct suppliers and detect impacts such as disasters, accidents, geopolitical risks and cyberattacks in real time. EcoVadis, meanwhile, conducts sustainability assessments covering more than 175,000 suppliers worldwide and performs risk profiling for more than 30 million companies.

The data integration will combine EcoVadis assessment data with Resilire's supply-chain map, enabling users to view the overall supply-chain connections and individual supplier assessments in one environment. The companies will develop the data-integration specifications and consider expanding the scope of the integration and combining risk-detection functions.

The collaboration comes against a backdrop of growing risks that must be managed across the supply chain, including natural disasters, geopolitical risks, cyberattacks, human rights and environmental issues. The companies will work on details of the service launch timing, additional functions and efforts to promote adoption by domestic companies.
