Blue Yonder has been named a Leader in Verdantix’s Green Quadrant: Supply Chain Sustainability Software (2026) report, recognising the company’s approach to integrating sustainability capabilities directly into supply chain planning and execution.

In its assessment, independent research and advisory firm Verdantix found that Blue Yonder “integrates sustainability-related capabilities natively into the same applications and workflows that supply chain practitioners use for planning and execution.”

Blue Yonder’s solutions are designed to help businesses incorporate sustainability into everyday supply chain decisions rather than treating it as a separate reporting activity.

Companies can manage carbon emissions, waste and environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks alongside traditional objectives such as cost, efficiency and service performance.

The technology provides visibility into supply chain carbon emissions and enables organisations to incorporate emissions considerations into scenario planning.

It can also help companies identify alternative suppliers, materials and production pathways to reduce emissions and manage ESG risks.

Verdantix also highlighted Blue Yonder’s use of AI agents to provide sustainability insights.

Elisa Molero, Senior Analyst at Verdantix, writes that “Blue Yonder's Orchestrator agent serves as the coordination layer across its agentic ecosystem, enabling firms to deploy and manage multiple AI agents that surface natural-language insights across environmental KPIs. As a result, firms can track progress, incorporate carbon emissions and waste into supply chain planning, and support sustainability initiatives, such as shifting freight from air to ocean transportation logistics.”

The Blue Yonder Logistics Emissions Calculator, part of its Sustainable Supply Chain Manager, automates carbon measurement across multimodal transportation using GLEC-accredited and ISO 14083-aligned methodology.

Blue Yonder Network also supports supplier engagement through multi-tier material traceability, ESG risk management and supplier sustainability assessments.

"Integrating sustainability into supply chain management will accelerate a shift from just reporting to achieving measurable waste and carbon reduction," said Saskia van Gendt, chief sustainability officer, Blue Yonder. "When sustainability is embedded into planning and execution systems, companies can reduce waste, strengthen resilience, improve efficiency and maintain profitability even in volatile conditions. We believe being named a Leader in this Green Quadrant is meaningful validation of the need to integrate sustainability into supply chain management."

The recognition covers Blue Yonder’s sustainability capabilities across supply chain planning and execution.

Key offerings include its logistics emissions calculator, transportation carbon emissions optimisation, manufacturing end-to-end sustainability, retail planning end-to-end sustainability, and traceability, collaboration and risk management solutions.

The company said these capabilities provide businesses with planning tools, real-time insights and reporting designed to support efforts to reduce carbon emissions, waste and ESG risk while maintaining operational performance. -TradeArabia News Service
