SPARQ360 and Zero Circle Announce Strategic Partnership to Scale Supply Chain Transformation

Partnership Announcement

SPARQ360 and Zero Circle have partnered to help organizations turn growing ESG and supply-chain pressure into practical, measurable business value.

As one team, we help companies capture reliable supplier data, turn it into audit-ready Scope 1–3 emissions, ESG, and CBAM-required emissions disclosures, and use those insights to drive real improvements across complex value chains.

The result is a connected, end-to-end pathway that reduces the burden on internal teams while improving data quality, transparency, and confidence in sustainability and trade-related disclosures.

A Connected Pathway for Sustainability and Supply Chains

Through this collaboration, we deliver a single, integrated approach to sustainability and supplier performance:

• Engage suppliers and collect primary data more consistently.
• Convert that data into credible Scope 1–3 emissions, ESG, and CBAM-required inputs.
• Improve readiness for EcoVadis assessments, EU CBAM reporting, and global disclosure requirements.
• Create transparency that stands up to internal review, customs scrutiny, and external audits.

This partnership helps companies navigate complex requirements — without overburdening internal teams.

Why This Partnership Matters Now

Organizations face increasing pressure from customers, regulators, and investors to deliver transparent ESG data, credible Scope 3 emissions reporting, and CBAM-required emissions disclosures. Many struggle to collect reliable supplier data, apply the Greenhouse Gas Protocol consistently, and respond to EcoVadis, CBAM, and similar requirements efficiently.

Together, we deliver a practical pathway to measure, manage, and communicate sustainability performance at scale — connecting supplier engagement, data integrity, and audit-ready reporting in one cohesive workflow.

Benefits for Customers

Enterprises can build supplier sustainability readiness programs that are practical to run and easy to scale, without adding ongoing operational burden. A shared system of record replaces one-off, manual data requests and reduces back-and-forth across teams, suppliers, and trade compliance functions.

Supplier data stays structured, consistent, and traceable — supporting ESG reporting, Scope 3 accounting, and CBAM embedded emissions calculations and supporting documentation. Inputs from suppliers and public-source signals become a clear, comparable view of performance that teams can use to prioritize actions and manage regulatory risk.

Survey fatigue drops when AI can analyze existing documents and public disclosures to accelerate assessments. Reporting becomes more credible and easier to defend, including audit-ready ESG documentation, stronger EcoVadis improvement pathways, and Scope 1–3 emissions outputs aligned with leading standards.

Designed for Shared Value (Not One-Way Reporting)

This partnership is built to benefit both sides of the value chain.

→ Suppliers get clearer insight into performance, priorities, and improvement pathways.

→ Enterprises get a more consistent, defensible view of supplier maturity, emissions risk, and regulatory exposure.

Our workflow can incorporate credible third-party signals (such as Dun & Bradstreet risk scores) alongside internal KPIs and global frameworks, improving confidence in the underlying data.

From Raw Supplier Data to a 360° Sustainability view

Customers gain a more complete picture of supplier performance through a unified approach that brings together:

• Gap analysis and improvement tracking
• Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions visibility
• CBAM embedded emissions readiness
• Framework alignment
• Weighted scoring that rolls multiple dimensions into a single, easy-to-communicate view of supplier resiliency and compliance risk

Joint Value for Customers

Together, SPARQ360 and Zero Circle offer an end-to-end solution that connects supplier engagement, ESG execution, CBAM readiness, and reporting support, and credible reporting.

“As sustainability requirements accelerate, many organizations are caught between rising expectations and limited capacity,” said Phil Glass, Head of Sustainability for North America. “This partnership helps companies translate ESG and supply-chain requirements into practical, scalable action.”
