IntegrityNext and leadity Partner to Provide Integrated ESG and Supply Chain Compliance for Mid-Market Companies
Munich and Hamburg, Germany | June 22, 2026: IntegrityNext, a global leader in supply chain sustainability software, and leadity, a leading ESG and ISO platform for mid-market businesses, announced their strategic partnership. The integration of both platforms was officially unveiled at the IntegrityNext Innovation Day on 16 June 2026 in Munich. For mid-market businesses, this means: ESG management, CO₂ accounting, and supply chain risk management — all managed in a single system.
From strategy to supply chain: A new standard for digital ESG management
The partnership unites two complementary strengths: leadity covers the full spectrum of sustainability strategy, management, carbon accounting, ISO management systems, and ESG reporting — tailored to more than 25 industries in the mid-market. IntegrityNext brings a global supply chain data network that monitors more than 2.8 million suppliers across 190+ countries, delivering compliance assurance through AI-powered risk analysis, validated assessments, and continuous monitoring.
With the integration, supply chain data from IntegrityNext flows directly into leadity. Companies capture risks, measures, and emissions data once — and use it across multiple purposes: CSRD and VSME reporting, bank enquiries, customer questionnaires, supply chain compliance, and strategic management decisions. What previously required several separate tools and extensive manual effort now runs in a single, seamless system.
Supply chain as the blind spot in ESG management
For mid-market businesses, the supply chain is becoming both a compliance risk and a competitive factor. Banks, customers, and regulators are demanding credible evidence of environmental, social, and governance risks across the entire value chain. Regulatory expectations are rising continuously — from CSRD and CSDDD to sector-specific requirements such as EUDR. At the same time, many companies lack the resources to manually screen suppliers, conduct assessments, and document measures without gaps.
The partnership addresses this challenge by integrating sustainability and supply chain risks directly into the ESG management system. Instead of managing compliance and risk in isolated systems, companies gain access to a consistent data foundation that links supply chain information with ESG reporting and strategic decision-making.
“ESG management becomes truly effective when companies can rely on trusted, validated supply chain data. That is where IntegrityNext adds a critical layer: risk intelligence, supplier assessments, emissions data, and continuous monitoring across global value chains. Together with leadity, we are helping mid-market companies move beyond reporting obligations and turn supply chain transparency into better decisions, stronger compliance, and measurable business impact”, says Giulia Borsa, Global Head of Partnerships at IntegrityNext.
Two modules for transparency, compliance, and measurable impact
The partnership comprises two modules designed for mid-market businesses, both of which will be available in leadity:
1. Supply Chain Due Diligence: Identify risks before they become problems
Drawing on more than 30 recognised risk databases — including OECD, World Bank, BSCI, and ILO — the module automatically analyses ESG risks across the entire supply chain, from abstract country and industry risks through to concrete supplier assessments. Critical news is screened in real time, measures are implemented collaboratively with suppliers, and their effectiveness is continuously monitored.
The result: An automatic ESG risk score for every supplier, complete documentation, and legally sound compliance — externally validated by legal experts. Companies act where it truly matters and maintain a full overview of all measures taken and their impact at all times.
2. Carbon Emissions Navigator: PCF data from the supply chain
The Carbon Emissions Navigator enables companies to efficiently capture Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) for their key products and suppliers. AI-powered emissions factor assignment, automatic linking to CCF data from leadity, and intelligent templates for product variants allow many PCFs to be created with minimal effort.
Suppliers can participate on the platform at no cost. PCF data is validated by professional auditors and flows directly into leadity. Hot-spot analyses show at a glance where reduction measures deliver the greatest impact — turning fragmented data into a solid foundation for decarbonisation and strategic decision-making.
Built for mid-market businesses: No licence costs for suppliers
A key advantage for mid-market businesses: Suppliers participate in the platform without any licence costs of their own. They complete standardised questionnaires in 14 languages, receive free support throughout, and benefit from a global network in which many are already registered. This significantly accelerates onboarding and reduces the coordination burden.
More than 450,000 questionnaires are validated annually by professional auditors — ensuring the highest data quality without companies having to invest their own resources in complex verification processes. AI agents aggregate and analyse fragmented supply chain data, turning it into actionable insights for procurement, sustainability, and compliance teams alike.
„Sustainable supply chains are no longer a nice-to-have for mid-market businesses — they are a prerequisite for financing, tenders, and competitiveness. leadity is the platform for this: With the integration of IntegrityNext, we bring together ESG management, carbon accounting, and supply chain management in a single system — tailored precisely for mid-market businesses and from a single source", adds Dr. Christine Prauschke, CEO at leadity.
