Blue Yonder, the AI company for supply chain, has been named a Leader in the Green Quadrant®: Supply Chain Sustainability Software (2026) report by Verdantix, an independent research and advisory firm. In the report, Verdantix finds 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 helps companies operationalise sustainability in supply chain management by making it part of core operations, not a separate reporting exercise. It enables companies to manage and optimise carbon, waste and ESG risk alongside supply chain objectives like cost and service performance in their day-to-day decision-making. This saves teams time gathering data and helps them make informed decisions and improve progress towards sustainability goals.
Blue Yonder solutions provide direct visibility into supply chain carbon emissions, which are increasingly challenging for companies to quantify and optimise. Beyond measurement, the solutions enable companies to integrate carbon emissions into scenario planning and mitigate ESG risk and emissions by identifying alternate suppliers, materials and production pathways.
The report also points to Blue Yonder’s use of AI agents to show supply chain teams sustainability insights. In the report, 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 Blue Yonder Sustainable Supply Chain Manager, automates carbon measurement across multimodal transport with GLEC-accredited and ISO 14083-aligned methodology. For supplier engagement, customers can gain visibility into multi-tier material traceability, manage ESG risk across their suppliers, and evaluate supplier sustainability performance with Blue Yonder Network.
Integrating sustainability into supply chain management will accelerate a shift from just reporting to achieving measurable waste and carbon reduction… 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.
said Saskia van Gendt, chief sustainability officer, Blue Yonder.
