The IUNGO Solution for ESG
Overcoming the complexity of ESG data collection in the supply chain
Working with unstructured files (like Excel) to manage ESG information, sending questionnaires by email with no visibility on whether the recipient received them, or constantly chasing suppliers who complain about too many surveys are common bottlenecks in procurement. Lacking visibility on collection progress and struggling to retrieve data when preparing reports makes compliance demanding.
The IUNGO ESG module enables you to collect environmental, social, and governance information and documents from your suppliers and calculate their ESG score objectively:
- Simultaneous qualification and ESG collection: embed ESG requests directly within the questionnaires suppliers already receive for qualification or requalification, saving time in creation, completion, evaluation, and management.
- Customization by commodity class: customize requested information according to product categories, allowing you to focus efforts on high-impact areas while collecting relevant ESG data.
- Self-application from your website: initiate data collection directly from your company website via a self-application form that allows potential suppliers to submit qualification and ESG data, giving you a 360° supplier overview.
- Continuous incremental updates: after the initial baseline for your sustainability report, future efforts are limited to updating only changed information, drastically reducing the completion burden on suppliers.
What is the IUNGO ESG module and how does it work?
The IUNGO ESG module is a software solution that digitizes the collection of sustainability information and compliance documents across the supply chain, automatically calculating an ESG score on a 0-100 scale for each supplier and commodity class. Natively embedded within the Supplier Qualification Process and powered by patented IUNGOmail technology, it allows suppliers to complete Environment, Social, and Governance sections directly via interactive email without portal logins. Collected data updates the Supplier Profile and a navigable Business Intelligence dashboard in real time, providing structured, verified metrics ready for Corporate Sustainability Reporting (CSRD) and external ESG audits.
Operational Comparison: Traditional ESG Management vs. IUNGO ESG Module
How sustainability data collection, supply chain engagement, and audit readiness evolve with digital workflows.
| ESG Management Stage | Traditional Method (Excel / Disconnected Email / Spreadsheets) | IUNGO ESG Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Questionnaire Distribution | Fragmented Excel spreadsheets or static forms sent by email with no tracking of actual receipt. |
Structured via IUNGOmail Automated dispatch via interactive email forms without technological barriers or logins. |
| Qualification Integration | Separate Workflows Duplicated requests, separate files, and frequent complaints from suppliers over redundant tasks. |
Unified Process Single point of completion: operational qualification data and ESG domains gathered together. |
| Score Calculation | Manual & Subjective Manual formulas in spreadsheets prone to transcription errors, inconsistency, and delays. |
Automated Algorithm Objective ESG scoring (0-100 scale) calculated automatically across Environment, Social, and Governance. |
| Document Expiration Tracking | Reactive ISO 14001 or safety certificates expire unnoticed by procurement teams until an audit occurs. |
Automated Reminders Automated monitoring of expiring content with scheduled reminder notices sent to suppliers. |
| Reporting & Sustainability Audit | Complex Data Retrieval Scattered evidence and difficulty aggregating historical data when preparing sustainability reports. |
Readily Available Centralized data, navigable BI dashboards, and Supplier Profiles accessible in a few clicks. |
The Operational Process
From data collection to ESG score calculation in 4 steps
The module structures the entire lifecycle of sustainability information across your supply chain:
- 01Process set-up
- 02Information collection
- 03ESG scoring & qualification
- 04Data visualization & monitoring
2. Information collection
Automated distribution of questionnaires to suppliers via IUNGOmail allows smooth, structured data collection, with additional self-application available from your corporate website.
3. ESG scoring & qualification
From the responses collected and via a dedicated algorithm, IUNGO automatically computes the ESG score (0-100 scale) for each supplier and communicates the outcome to the partner.
4. Monitoring & Supplier Profile
Summary scores are displayed directly on the Supplier Profile for rapid consultation, while comprehensive supply chain analysis is accessible through a navigable BI dashboard.
The three assessed pillars
Questionnaires systematically cover: Environment (ISO 14001, LCA, waste, energy), Social (health and safety, gender equality, PPE), and Governance (documented policies, code of ethics, staff training).
Traceability & Line Log
Complete transparency and auditing: the Line Log records every action taken with verifiable timestamps detailing what was done, when, and by whom.
Integrated Business Intelligence
Supplier sustainability synthesis and monitoring
The data analysis dashboard allows you to monitor the coverage and progress of ESG information requests across your entire supplier base at all times. Through intuitive visualizations, you always have access to:
- Global ESG performance: a comprehensive rating of your supply chain, including detailed breakdowns by specific ESG domains (Environment, Social, Governance).
- Data collection coverage: insights into the completion progress of information gathering across your entire vendor base.
- Category-level analysis: the ability to analyze sustainability scores across different procurement and commodity categories.
- Individual supplier drill-downs: access to detailed scores for each supplier to identify top performers or those failing to meet required standards.
The Benefits
Why manage ESG within the supplier qualification process?
Aligning with ESG criteria is not merely regulatory compliance—it is a strategic lever to enhance business resilience and competitiveness:
For the Company
Supply chain risk mitigation, effortless data retrieval for sustainability reporting, reduced legal and reputational risks, and facilitated access to sustainable banking credit.
For the Supply Chain
A single completion interface for suppliers without technical barriers, standardized data flows, improved operational reliability, and recognition of virtuous partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Which sustainability areas are assessed with the ESG module?
The module enables collecting information and documents across the three ESG pillars: Environment (certifications such as ISO 14001, LCA/Carbon Footprint, waste management, and energy resources), Social (workplace health and safety, gender equality, PPE tracking, and training), and Governance (documented policies, code of ethics, and supply chain management).
How is the supplier's ESG score calculated?
The ESG score is calculated automatically on a 0-100 scale using a dedicated algorithm that correlates the points assigned to questionnaire responses across Environment, Social, and Governance sections. Weightings and question importance can be customized according to commodity classes.
Do suppliers need to register on a portal to complete ESG questionnaires?
No. Suppliers interact exclusively via patented IUNGOmail technology: they receive questions directly by email in an interactive form, attach required documents, and submit data without having to remember passwords or install external software.
How are updates handled in the years following the first sustainability report?
In subsequent periods, suppliers focus solely on reviewing and updating changed information or expiring certificates. The system automatically handles reminders prior to document expirations, significantly reducing the completion burden.
Can ESG information be collected from potential suppliers not yet in the vendor registry?
Yes. IUNGO provides a self-application form that can be integrated into your company website. Potential suppliers can register autonomously, select their product categories, and complete qualification and sustainability questionnaires simultaneously.
