IntegrityNext and Dun & Bradstreet Deepen Partnership to Strengthen ESG Risk Management and Supply Chain Transparency
Munich, March 18, 2025 – IntegrityNext, a global leader in supply chain sustainability solutions, and Dun & Bradstreet, a trusted provider of business data and analytics deepen their strategic partnership. The collaboration integrates Dun & Bradstreet’s verified financial and operational insights into the IntegrityNext platform, empowering businesses to fill critical supplier data gaps, enhance ESG risk management, and streamline regulatory compliance.
Comprehensive ESG and Business Risk Insights in One Platform
Navigating today’s ESG landscape requires companies to have a complete picture of their suppliers. IntegrityNext already enables over 500 companies to monitor two million suppliers across 190 countries, supporting compliance with global ESG regulations, strengthening risk management and improving sustainability performance across the supply chain. The integration of verified financial and operational data via Dun & Bradstreet’s allows businesses to assess suppliers even more effectively and fill critical data gaps. Companies can now prioritize high-risk suppliers based on financial stability and compliance indicators, ensuring a proactive approach to risk mitigation. Automating supplier data enrichment also reduces manual effort, allowing businesses to focus on deeper ESG risk analysis and supply chain resilience.
“As regulatory pressure increases, businesses need a reliable way to assess supplier risks quickly and accurately,” says Nick Heine, Chief Customer Officer and Co-Founder of IntegrityNext. “By integrating Dun & Bradstreet’s trusted financial and operational data into our platform, we provide our customers with a smarter, more automated approach – helping them manage risks at scale with greater efficiency.”
A 360-Degree View of Supplier Risk
IntegrityNext enables businesses to assess sustainability risks across millions of suppliers worldwide, measuring over 45 industry- and country-specific ESG risk indicators such as human rights violations, environmental risks, and corporate governance issues. The integration with Dun & Bradstreet takes this further by providing both financial risk information as well as enriching master data with critical information such as industry codes (SIC, NACE) and turnover figures to build a complete supplier profile.
The integration allows companies to:
- Identify supply chain vulnerabilities faster, using real-time, validated data.
- Reduce risk exposure by integrating financial stability indicators into sustainability evaluations.
- Improve the reliability of due diligence efforts, reducing dependency on self-reported data.
“ESG factors are fundamentally reshaping global supply chains, as companies are increasingly held accountable for environmental, social, and governance risks within their value chains. A 360-degree view of suppliers is essential to meet regulatory requirements, minimize reputational and financial risks, and strengthen supply chain resilience,” says Frank Meier-Gerssler, Executive Director Value Added Services at Dun & Bradstreet. “Through our partnership with IntegrityNext, companies can seamlessly integrate sustainability and financial data with Dun & Bradstreet’s market-leading data – enabling more informed procurement decisions while ensuring compliance with growing regulatory demands.”
Next Steps: Deepening the Integration for Greater Supply Chain Resilience
