Assent Inc. Unveils Assent Sustainability Platform to Enhance Compliance Efficiency and Supplier Collaboration
Assent Inc., a leader in supply chain sustainability solutions, has announced the launch of the Assent Sustainability Platform (ASP), a cutting-edge solution designed to simplify and streamline the process of compliance reporting and sustainability declarations across global supply chains. By reducing manual labor, enhancing data accuracy, and fostering stronger supplier relationships, the ASP marks a transformative step in Assent’s mission to revolutionize supply chain sustainability.
A Game-Changer in Supply Chain Compliance
The Assent Sustainability Platform redefines how suppliers interact with customers by providing a centralized digital workspace. The platform facilitates seamless data sharing, minimizes redundant efforts, and ensures regulatory compliance through automated and proactive reporting capabilities. Early adopters of the platform have reported a 92% reduction in time spent on compliance tasks and a fivefold increase in the speed of proactive declaration submissions compared to traditional request-driven approaches.
“The launch of the Assent Sustainability Platform is another critical step in removing the complexity from compliance and sustainability reporting,” said Catherine Cormier, Chief Product Officer at Assent Inc. “Transparency, responsiveness, and accuracy are the foundations of our customer-supplier relationships. By empowering manufacturers with an intuitive and robust compliance solution, we enable them to build resilient businesses while driving sustainability forward.”
Key Features and Benefits of the Assent Sustainability Platform
Built on Assent’s extensive Sustainability Network of industry data and supplier connections, the platform enhances compliance efficiency by:
1. Centralized Data Management
- Suppliers can manage all compliance and sustainability requests within a single dashboard, reducing fragmentation and inefficiency.
- The platform supports compliance with major global regulations, including PFAS restrictions, TSCA, REACH, RoHS, and Proposition 65.
2. Proactive Data Sharing
- Suppliers can submit data to multiple customers simultaneously, eliminating the need to respond to repeated, individual requests.
- This reduces supplier fatigue and ensures higher compliance rates with sustainability initiatives.
3. Enhanced Compliance Workflows
- The platform introduces real-time updates and automated alerts to streamline compliance processes.
- Early access users reported completing request responses 13 times faster compared to conventional workflows.
4. Improved Communication Between Suppliers and Manufacturers
- By consolidating compliance-related communication into one platform, ASP eliminates inefficiencies caused by language barriers, varying regulatory knowledge, and misaligned sustainability goals.
- This fosters stronger partnerships and ensures consistent compliance across all levels of the supply chain.
Addressing the Industry’s Biggest Compliance Challenges
According to Elisa Molero, a leading Verdantix analyst and author of the Global Corporate Survey 2025: Supply Chain Sustainability Analysis, supplier engagement remains the most significant challenge in achieving supply chain sustainability.
“Poor engagement often stems from a lack of clear communication, varying compliance requirements, and constrained resources within supplier organizations. Many suppliers find it difficult to provide accurate compliance data due to time constraints and limited expertise,” said Molero. “The Assent Sustainability Platform directly addresses these challenges by centralizing compliance workflows, reducing supplier burden, and streamlining data exchange.”
The platform’s ability to eliminate redundancies and improve efficiency ensures that suppliers can focus on meeting compliance requirements without being overwhelmed by repetitive tasks. By enhancing communication and offering a structured framework, Assent is empowering suppliers to become active participants in sustainable supply chains rather than passive data providers.
The Future of Supply Chain Sustainability
As regulatory requirements evolve and sustainability becomes a critical business priority, manufacturers need robust tools to manage compliance risks, accelerate market access, and maintain corporate responsibility commitments. The Assent Sustainability Platform provides a forward-thinking solution that aligns with global environmental and social governance (ESG) objectives.
By leveraging Assent’s industry expertise and advanced technology, manufacturers can:
- Ensure end-to-end visibility into product compliance data.
- Reduce compliance costs and avoid penalties.
- Strengthen supplier partnerships by reducing the administrative burden.
- Contribute to sustainable practices by adhering to global environmental standards.
