New analytics solutions and expanded product capabilities give manufacturers, brands, and retailers the intelligence they need to stay ahead in an evolving global landscape.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Worldly, the leading sustainability data and analytics platform for the consumer goods industry, today announced the launch of new compliance and supply chain intelligence solutions, including Eco Scores and the Insights Hub. Together, these solutions mark a bold evolution in how the consumer goods industry uses product and primary supply chain data to drive strategic action and decarbonize at scale. Built for global brands, retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers, the expanded offerings help customers drive impact, improve efficiency, uncover hidden risk, and build resilient, future-ready businesses and supply chains.
"Brands, retailers, and suppliers across the global consumer goods industry face growing pressure to meet climate goals, maintain compliance, and drive business performance—all with greater speed and at global scale," said Scott Raskin, CEO of Worldly. "With the deep, intuitive analytics of Insights Hub, our customers can transform complex supply chain data into clear, strategic action and make faster, smarter decisions across sourcing, procurement, sustainability, and executive leadership."
With increased economic uncertainty and rising demands from consumers, regulators, and investors, supply chain visibility has become a strategic imperative for businesses navigating an ever-evolving landscape. Worldly's expanded suite of solutions delivers actionable insights quickly that enable procurement, sourcing, sustainability, and compliance teams to collaborate on the most meaningful areas for impact and performance like uncovering supply chain risks and accelerating GHG reductions to navigate market and climate pressures.
"Having the ability to visualize supplier data—across countries, across our full portfolio—is incredibly powerful," said Cerian Atwell, Sustainability Lead at M&S. "It helps us set realistic targets and identify which supplier programs will have the greatest impact."
"Quantitative data isn't the destination—it's the starting point for deeper, more meaningful conversations," Susan Scow, Sustainability Impact Specialist at Eileen Fisher, said. "As we dig further into tiers two and three of our supply chain, maintaining strong, individual relationships with suppliers year over year becomes critical. For us, it's about using data to build connection and clarity, together."
Insights Hub Heralds a New Era of Data-Driven Decision-Making
At launch, the Insights Hub offers an industry-first: a focused dashboard of the Top 5 Decarbonization KPIs every business should be tracking.
These include:
A business's total supply chain carbon emissions
The carbon intensity for an individual facility or a specific group of facilities
Electricity and thermal carbon intensity
Percent of electricity that is onsite and purchased renewable
The energy intensity of a facility's production
"Aligning on Carbon Intensity (CI) gives us a common language to measure and compare impact—across countries, facilities, and production processes," said Paul Goff, H&M Traceability and Sustainability Senior Product Manager. "It strips out variables like production volume, which can cloud the picture, and focuses on how clean the energy is. It's simple, it's comparable, and it's actionable—exactly what we need to drive real decarbonization across the industry."
In the near future, the Insights Hub will include metrics on water, waste, and social performance to offer deeper visibility into key impact areas.
GHG Calculations with Deeper Product Data
In addition to launching the Insights Hub, Worldly has expanded the capabilities of its Product Impact Calculator (PIC). Launched September 2024, PIC now enables businesses to produce Eco Scores and calculate Scope 3 GHG emissions with primary data from suppliers that produce materials used in consumer goods. This includes sources like mills and gins—where more than 80% of environmental impact occurs in the apparel and textile industry. The PIC continues to use primary data from finished goods suppliers as well. This breakthrough gives brands and manufacturers a more precise emissions calculation for reporting out on Scope 3 emissions.
To further support businesses along their compliance journey, Worldly also introduced a new game-changing transparency and accountability solution to support businesses in meeting the emerging product labeling regulations in France—the French EcoScore. These regulations make product-level environmental impact scores visible to consumers for the first time. With this update, Worldly is supporting companies in meeting regulatory expectations and staying ahead of market demands to reduce supply chain risk.
Deeper Product GHG Insights Power Smarter, More Resilient Supply Chains
For brands and retailers, a clear and continuous picture of their supply chain—backed by high-quality, year-over-year data from suppliers—is critical to managing risk and maintaining trust among business partners. For suppliers, maintaining and reporting uninterrupted data positions them as leading, strategic partners in a rapidly shifting marketplace.
"The innovations we're announcing today are just the beginning," said Raskin. "As climate-related disruptions accelerate—from factories in flood zones to sourcing regions facing wildfires and extreme heat—businesses need to see their data in geographic and environmental context. Soon, Worldly will give companies the ability to go beyond compliance by pairing detailed operational data with localized climate risk. This insight will help our customers identify where their supply chains are vulnerable, take proactive steps to protect workers, and build the resilience needed to navigate an increasingly uncertain world."
