ESG Supplier Risk Management on a New Level: The denxpert and Dun & Bradstreet Partnership

In the new era of mandatory sustainability reporting and due diligence obligations, supply chain transparency has become one of the most pressing challenges for companies. To gain an accurate picture of their suppliers’ ESG performance, businesses need reliable, globally accessible data. 

Companies subject to ESG regulations must determine, often from a pool of hundreds or even thousands of suppliers, which partners require a detailed assessment, and they must do so based on incomplete, fragmented data. 

This challenge is exactly what our strategic partnership between denxpert and Dun & Bradstreet is designed to solve. Dun & Bradstreet’s global business information database, built over nearly 200 years and covering tens of millions of companies worldwide, enables businesses to standardise and enrich their supplier data and conduct objective pre-screening based on ESG risk indicators and ratings. At the heart of this partnership is the synergy between technology and data: denxpert’s market-leading ESG software solutions now provide direct access to the D&B global database. Bridging the gaps between questionnaire management, evaluation, documentation, and auditable compliance workflows in a single system. 

The two-step model ensures that detailed ESG assessments are carried out only where genuinely warranted. This significantly reduces the administrative burden while making the entire compliance process more transparent and manageable. The benefits of this collaboration are relevant not only to domestic companies but also to those with international supplier networks: the global data coverage and standardised ESG evaluation methodology prove most valuable precisely in cases where obtaining reliable information on foreign suppliers through traditional means is difficult. 

Companies such as Richter Gedeon and MVM have already applied this solution as part of their ESG compliance processes. 

Want to see how it works in practice? On 16 April, we hosted a Hungarian-language webinar where Csonka Anna (Senior Sustainability Expert, denxpert) and Rein Enikő (Dun & Bradstreet) presented the two-step pre-screening and assessment model live.
