As part of this expanded collaboration, DFGE will take on a more active role in three new areas: co-commercialisation&nbsp;of enterprise solutions, supplier engagement, and, exclusively, the Retail Impact Initiative under the umbrella of the EcoVadis Sector Initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For over a decade, DFGE has been an official EcoVadis partner, supporting companies across the DACH region in their journey toward sustainable transformation&nbsp;of&nbsp;supply chains. This extended partnership reaffirms the shared commitment of both organizations to anchor sustainability in global&nbsp;supplier&nbsp;networks in a practical, measurable, and impactful way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cComprehensive sustainability ratings are a cornerstone for implementing sustainability across global supply chains,\u201d<\/em> says Dr.-Ing. Thomas Fleissner, founder and CEO of DFGE. <em>\u201cBy strengthening our collaboration with EcoVadis, we can offer companies even more targeted support in meeting regulatory and stakeholder requirements, mitigating risks, and driving sustainable improvements.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three New Pillars of Collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
