Beyond ESG Reporting: How iSystain Enables Supplier Engagement and Transparency

ESG Reporting Isn’t Enough Anymore

As ESG expectations evolve, so must your approach. Today’s investors, regulators, and stakeholders demand not just reporting—but action, assurance, and accountability. For companies managing large supplier networks, traditional reporting tools fall short. Gaps in supplier engagement, inconsistent data, and limited visibility into Scope 3 emissions can lead to reputational, operational, and compliance risks.

iSystain, VST’s dedicated ESG management platform, was designed with these challenges in mind. Beyond reporting, it equips sustainability and procurement teams with the digital tools needed to monitor, engage, and collaborate with suppliers—turning ESG risks into resilience strategies.

Why Supplier Engagement Matters in ESG

Your supply chain defines your footprint. Without reliable supplier data, companies risk:

  • Inaccurate or incomplete Scope 3 emissions reporting
  • Unverified ESG claims that erode stakeholder trust
  • Non-compliance with regulations like the CSRD or ISSB
  • Exposure to human rights, labor, or environmental violations

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) increasingly emphasize value chain transparency. Meeting these expectations demands smarter tools—and smarter collaboration.

How iSystain Empowers ESG + Supplier Management

iSystain provides an integrated ESG and supplier governance platform, enabling organizations to:

1. Track and Validate Supplier ESG Performance

  • Assign ESG questionnaires and declarations to suppliers
  • Set custom thresholds and alerts for non-compliance
  • Capture audit evidence directly through the platform

2. Streamline Scope 3 Data Collection

  • Collect activity-based emissions data from suppliers
  • Map inputs to emissions categories (GHG Protocol-aligned)
  • Generate auditable reports for investor and regulator submission

3. Strengthen Social and Ethical Oversight

  • Monitor supplier alignment with human rights, DEI, and ethical sourcing policies
  • Track social investments and community impacts
  • Support due diligence aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

4. Automate Workflow and Action Management

  • Set automated reminders for supplier reporting
  • Assign corrective actions and track progress
  • Facilitate collaboration with procurement and ESG teams in one system

Real Impact, Not Just Reports

With iSystain, ESG teams can shift from reactive reporting to proactive risk management across the value chain. That means:

  • Fewer gaps in Scope 3 emissions calculations
  • Faster responses to stakeholder inquiries and audit requests
  • Reduced reputational risk from supplier misconduct
  • Improved sustainability ratings and investor confidence

The platform is fully cloud-native, multilingual, and adaptable to evolving ESG frameworks such as GRI, SASB, CSRD, and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
