BOSTON,April 29,2021 --Transparency-One,the platform for responsible sourcing,is proud to be recognized in the 2021 Gartner Market Guide for Supplier Sustainability Applications report as a Representative Vendor. [1]

According to Gartner,"This research helps chief procurement officers to assess key capabilities and representative vendors of these applications." [1]

This report further states "Nearly all organizations — public and private,large and small — will benefit from a supplier sustainability application. Stakeholder expectations and regulatory changes will continue to evolve and force organizations to implement and scale their responsible sourcing initiatives.

By deploying a supplier sustainability application,companies are able to scale their initiatives and impact." [1]
