Energy generation, distribution and transmission are highly resource-intensive activities with significant upstream impacts. The rapid deployment of clean energy technologies is fundamentally reshaping supply chains. This transformation requires increased scrutiny of extractive operations and material processing to address environmental, labor, and human rights risks.
We help you manage the key sustainability risks in your supply chain and unlock opportunities for greater efficiency, impact, and long-term value.
Our solutions cover the topics most material to your industry, enabling you to meet legal requirements and boost sustainability performance.
The energy utilities industry remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels, resulting in significant environmental and human rights risks, including air pollution, deforestation, and community displacement. ESG tech solutions enable companies to implement rigorous due diligence, ensuring responsible sourcing and supporting the shift toward cleaner energy sources.
The rapid growth of renewables like wind, solar, and storage technologies has increased demand for critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are often linked to poor labor conditions and environmental pollution. Supply chain ESG software can help utilities monitor and mitigate these risks, ensuring ethical sourcing and compliance with international standards.
Renewable energy infrastructure requires extensive raw materials and relies on manufacturing processes that contribute to Scope 3 emissions. ESG platforms provide tools to track emissions, improve material efficiency, and incorporate circular design principles to minimize environmental impact and build resilient value chains.
The utility industry is characterized by high occupational accident rates, with companies frequently outsourcing hazardous tasks. ESG solutions can help enforce stringent health and safety standards across suppliers and contractors, protecting workers and reducing operational risks.
Collaboration with suppliers is critical to addressing ESG risks and aligning with sustainability goals. Leveraging ESG solutions enables utilities to enforce social and environmental guidelines, optimize material use, and adopt circular product design to reduce risks and drive sustainable energy systems.
Our platform offers a comprehensive suite of sustainability solutions to meet your industry needs. Combining the world’s largest sustainable supply chain network, AI-powered insights and automation, and built-in ESG expertise covering over 40 topics, we ensure that your sustainability efforts are tailored to your industry - giving you a competitive edge and driving meaningful impact.
Energy utilities face significant risks related to environmental and social impacts in their supply chains, especially in sourcing raw materials like metals, critical minerals, and equipment components. Our due diligence solutions ensure compliance with regulations like the EU’s CSDDD by offering tools for supplier risk assessments, responsible sourcing, and sustainable procurement practices.
Sustainability reporting is crucial for energy utilities to demonstrate transparency and accountability in reducing their environmental footprint. We simplify compliance with frameworks like the CSRD and GRI by providing robust reporting solutions to track decarbonization progress and align with regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
Energy utilities face considerable Scope 3 emissions from equipment and machinery manufacturing, fuel supply chains, and renewable energy infrastructure. Our solutions help you track embedded carbon, reduce upstream emissions, and comply with regulations like the EU’s CBAM while supporting decarbonization efforts for a cleaner energy transition.
Sourcing raw materials for energy generation and infrastructure, such as fuels, biomass or metals, often impacts forests and biodiversity. We ensure traceability and compliance with the EUDR, promoting responsible land use, sustainable sourcing practices, and biodiversity protection across supply chains.
Energy utilities operate extensive and complex supply chains that require comprehensive visibility to manage ESG risks. Our cutting-edge solutions deliver multi-tier supply chain insights, enabling you to enhance resilience, address regulatory compliance, and maintain sustainability standards across your networks.
Compliance with material regulations like REACH, RoHS, and conflict mineral laws is essential for energy utilities to ensure safe and sustainable operations. We simplify compliance by helping you track materials, monitor suppliers, and ensure adherence to safety and environmental standards.
"With IntegrityNext as a partner, IWB gains more transparency about the environmental and social risks in the supply chain. This enables us to implement further improvements together with our suppliers.”
Sustainable procurement is one of five pillars of IWB’s sustainability strategy and by 2025 the company aims to be a leading energy supplier in this area. IWB found that two-thirds of the environmental and social impacts of its goods and services occur upstream in the supply chain.
The company was therefore looking for a solution to increase transparency and check environmental compatibility and social standards of its suppliers more thoroughly as well as actively manage and improve performance.
With IntegrityNext, IWB was able to establish a streamlined ESG assessment process that allows the company to easily and globally check supplier compliance with environmental and social standards.
This enables IWB to identify risks in its upstream supply chain and take effective measures for improvement and prevention directly via the platform.
IntegrityNext provides IWB with reliable KPIs and documentation for its reporting to internal and external stakeholders.
