OutSystems Customer ADEC Innovations Receives Environmental Leader’s Top Product of the Year Award

The third industry recognition received for CleanChain, built with the OutSystems low-code development platform BOSTON and ATLANTA, May 22, 2018 — OutSystems congratulates customer ADEC Innovations for receiving the Top Product of the Year Award from Environmental Leader. The winning product, CleanChain, was built with the OutSystems low-code development platform. In addition, CleanChain recently received the Sustainability Product of the Year award from Business Intelligence Group and the Green Supply Chain award from Supply & Demand Chain Executive. ADEC Innovations was honored on May 16 for this innovative app that advances greener supply chains by tracking chemicals through manufacturing processes so that companies in industries such as textiles and apparel can determine how to reduce and even eliminate hazardous chemicals from those processes. 500 users in over 35 countries use CleanChain to help reduce impacts in the supply chain and reach corporate sustainability goals and milestones. “Receiving all this recognition illustrates the commitment of ADEC Innovations to promoting sustainability and making the world a cleaner, better place,” said Steve Rotter, CMO at OutSystems. “The CleanChain application is a game changer in the way it enables companies to take proactive efforts to keep hazardous materials out of the supply chain.” CleanChain is one of several apps ADEC Innovations has developed since converting its app development processes to the OutSystems platform several years ago. Their goal – to shift away from traditional coding in an effort to build applications more quickly with agility. “CleanChain is being used as part of a larger effort globally to keep pollution out of waterways, especially in developing countries that have yet to put in place the necessary regulations,” said Greg Scandrett, Director Product Development at ADEC. “We were able to build apps that these industries can use to create a real impact for local communities and the planet as a whole. And we were able to bring these solutions to market very quickly using OutSystems.” The Environmental Leader and Energy Manager Today Product and Project Awards is a program recognizing excellence in products and services that provide companies with energy and environmental benefits, or in projects implemented by companies that improved environmental or energy management and increased the bottom line. ### About OutSystems Thousands of customers worldwide trust OutSystems, the number one low-code platform for rapid application development.

Yuva, editor for Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “Our honorees serve as role models for supply chains globally to expand their CSR reach and impact.” The Environmental Leader and Energy Manager Today Product & Project Awards recognize excellence in products and services that provide companies with energy and environmental benefits, and in projects implemented by companies that result in improved environmental outcomes while positively impacting revenue.

CDP and FirstCarbon Solutions Publish Inaugural Index of Suppliers Leading in Climate Change Performance

Supplier Leadership Index is newest way to benchmark best practices and for CDP Supply Chain Program Members to evaluate suppliers IRVINE, CA and LONDON, UK (January 21, 2014) – FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS), a pioneer in environmental and sustainability business solutions, and  CDP, the leading NGO providing the only global environmental disclosure system, today announced the debut publication of the Supplier Climate Performance Leadership Index (SCPLI), a new evaluation and benchmarking tool for CDP supply chain members and suppliers. Compiled by FCS on behalf of CDP, the index is based on supply chain program data from 2,868 suppliers that are disclosing climate change data at the request of CDP’s 64 supply chain members, which represent a combined spending power of nearly US$1.15 trillion. The 79 companies included in the index demonstrate strong and transparent climate strategies and emissions reduction programs. “Suppliers have been asking for a way to benchmark their climate change performance since FCS became the exclusive scoring partner for the CDP Supply Chain program in 2011,” says Robert Francisco, president of FirstCarbon Solutions. “With the launch of the Supplier Leadership Index, FCS and CDP recognize the top 3% of suppliers who are committed to integrating climate resiliency programs into their overall business strategies which leads to unprecedented operational efficiencies, cost savings, revenue opportunities, and positive planet stewardship.” These leading suppliers demonstrate a number of defining characteristics in their CDP survey responses, including:
  • Board-level oversight on climate planning along with monetary incentives for emission reductions
  • Substantive detail on how climate change is integrated into risk management and corporate strategy planning
  • Scope 1 and Scope 2 reduction targets
  • Evidence of Scope 1 & Scope 2 emissions reduction activities that delivered significant results
  • Independent third-party assurance of Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions
“Introducing a supplier performance leadership index into CDP’s supply chain program will drive best practice. We have great insights into the fact that big multinational purchasers – namely our members – are increasingly demanding that their suppliers take action on mitigating climate change risks. Suppliers need to improve their levels of sustainability to differentiate themselves from their competitors or they will lose business” said Nigel Topping, Executive Director, CDP.” The full supply chain report, including names of companies featured in the SCPLI and the methodology used, can be found at https://www.cdp.net/en/reports/downloads/633. About CDP CDP is an international, not-for-profit organization providing the only global system for companies and cities to measure, disclose, manage and share vital environmental information.  CDP works with market forces, including 722 institutional investors with assets of US$87 trillion, to motivate companies to disclose their impacts on the environment and natural resources and take action to reduce them.  CDP now holds the largest collection globally of primary climate change, water and forest risk commodities information and puts these insights at the heart of strategic business, investment and policy decisions.  Please visit www.cdp.net or follow us @CDP to find out more.
