This Spend Matters PRO Vendor Analysis provides an overview of Responsibly and its ESG data tech solution. Responsibly offers a supplier data pipeline that automates data collection, interpretation and scoring across the full data landscape. The platform customizes and right-sizes assessments of individual supplier groups with a modular scoring system. Responsibly’s vision is to make each worldwide purchase responsible by empowering procurement professionals with an end-to-end responsible sourcing system enabled through an open-source software ecosystem.

Centralization and harmonization are fundamental to Responsibly’s vision. The solution takes in large amounts of raw third-party and supplier-submitted data, automatically scores it, and then empowers users to make more informed sourcing decisions. Responsibly’s holistic overviews of supply chains include not just data on issues such as greenhouse gas emissions but also on biodiversity, water stewardship, human/worker’s rights and more.
