IntegrityNext Launches E-Learning Platform IntegrityNext Academy
IntegrityNext Launches the IntegrityNext Academy to Advance Sustainability and Compliance Knowledge Across Supply Chains
New learning platform establishes shared awareness and supports companies and suppliers with practical training on key sustainability and compliance topics.
Munich, New York, October 15, 2025 – IntegrityNext, a global leader in supply chain sustainability software, today announces the launch of the IntegrityNext Academy, a new learning platform designed to build ESG and compliance capabilities across global value chains. The platform is available to IntegrityNext customers and their suppliers around the globe and complements the company’s existing solution offering.
Building Knowledge and Skills Is Critical to Success
Many organizations report that a lack of expertise and common language remains one of the biggest barriers to effective sustainability programs. In a recent survey with the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS), 74% of sustainable procurement leaders identified training, stronger teams, and cross-functional collaboration as the top investment priorities.
“Building knowledge is one of the most critical success factors for supply chain compliance and sustainability, says Nick Heine, Chief Customer Officer at Integritynext. Suppliers can only contribute effectively when they understand what is expected of them, while buyers can only make responsible decisions when they grasp the underlying issues themselves.“
The IntegrityNext Academy addresses this gap by building awareness and providing practical knowledge for both buyers and suppliers – ensuring that all parties can collaborate effectively and deliver on sustainability and compliance commitments.
Introducing the IntegrityNext Academy
The IntegrityNext Academy complements IntegrityNext's software offering by enabling capacity building as a strategic component of compliance and sustainability programs. Its core objective is to foster awareness and provide clear, applicable knowledge to support informed decision-making across all stages of implementation. It serves as a foundational layer to strengthen supply chain collaboration and ensure regulatory readiness.
“We mustn’t underestimate what the rise in regulations means for companies and their supply chains. Sustainability is a skill that many organizations still need to learn — and capacity building is often the missing link between ad-hoc compliance efforts and organizational maturity. The IntegrityNext Academy helps close that gap by creating a shared understanding between buyers and suppliers, adds Nick Heine.
Practical Content at Every Stage of the Journey
The Academy features curated training on key regulatory and sustainability topics, including environmental and social due diligence, responsible sourcing, and Sustainability reporting. The content is continuously evolving to reflect new developments and priorities.
Courses are tailored to the distinct needs of buyers and suppliers and are delivered in a variety of formats, including videos, e-books, checklists, and FAQs. The content is designed by leading sustainability and compliance experts and includes step-by-step project guidance and platform tutorials.
Learners can preview course activities, track their own progress, and access materials from anywhere in the world. Whether companies are just beginning their sustainability journey or seeking to professionalize and scale existing programs, the Academy offers relevant, actionable guidance at every step.
“Adding the IntegrityNext Academy to our product portfolio was the next logical step. Knowledge is crucial for adoption of our solutions, stronger supplier engagement, better data quality, and higher response rates. Our customers will benefit immensely, says Till Reiter, Chief Product Officer at IntegrityNext”
