Discover how Stena Metall used Ignite to gain full control over spend, improve contract compliance, and drive strategic decision-making across the organization.
Sustainability Intelligence
Sustainability intelligence built into procurement.
Your suppliers are at the center of your emissions and social risk. Ignite makes that visible and connected to your spend, so sustainability becomes part of every procurement decision, not just an annual report.
Trusted by teams managing and reporting on sustainability
Sustainability data is hard to collect and rarely connected to procurement.
Emissions and social risk are increasingly part of how suppliers are evaluated. Most teams are managing them manually, in isolation, and without the data foundation to do it well.
Manual work that takes over
Collecting documents, assessing risk, and calculating emissions takes hours of effort that repeats every reporting cycle.
Scope 3 without the right data
When spend and supplier data lives in different systems, calculating emissions across your supply chain is slow and hard to defend.
No systematic way to manage risk and compliance
Without a structured process, you never have a complete picture of which suppliers carry risk and which have outstanding requirements.
Sustainability treated as separate from procurement
When emissions and risk live outside your procurement data, you can't factor them into decisions or negotiations.
Ignite Intelligence
With Ignite, sustainability stops being a separate workstream and starts connecting with procurement.

Commonly asked questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most from procurement teams. Still have one? Book a demo and we'll walk you through it.
Does Ignite cover both emissions and social risk?
Yes. Ignite handles both under one roof, so you aren’t managing separate tools for carbon accounting and supplier compliance. Everything connects to the same underlying spend and supplier data, giving you a complete picture and making cross-topic reporting much easier.
How does Ignite calculate Scope 3 emissions?
Once your data sources are connected, Ignite uses spend data to calculate emissions automatically. From there, you can identify your biggest emission sources and add activity or supplier data to increase accuracy where it matters most. Our methodology is externally validated to follow the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Does Ignite support our reporting requirements?
Yes. For CSRD, Ignite gives you the metric tons of CO2-equivalents you need to report your emissions. Just hit export and add it directly to your report. For the Transparency Act, pre-built templates developed with law firm Føyen are ready to use, structured to meet the requirements.
How does Ignite help with the Transparency Act specifically?
Ignite supports the full process, from identifying risk to improving it. Start by enriching your suppliers to get an automatic baseline of social risk based on industry and geography. From there, validate and act using Ignite's structured approach: gather insights using pre-built assessments, refine risk estimates with internal data, and identify next steps and mitigation measures. Every action is tracked in an activity log, and when it’s time to report, use the Transparency Act report template developed in collaboration with law firm Føyen.
How does sustainability data connect to procurement decisions?
Emissions and risk data in Ignite are connected to your spend, suppliers, and categories. So when you’re preparing for a negotiation, evaluating a supplier, or reviewing a category, the sustainability picture is already there alongside the commercial one.
Emissions tracked. Social risk managed. Reporting ready.
Most teams spend weeks pulling sustainability data together. Ignite gets you there faster.
