EiQ by LRQA positioned as an Innovator in the 2026 Verdantix Green Quadrant

EiQ by LRQA has been positioned as an Innovator in the Verdantix Green Quadrant: Supply Chain Sustainability Software (2026). The report is an independent benchmark of 16 supply chain sustainability software providers, assessed on their capabilities and market momentum, following the previous edition in 2024.

Verdantix built the 2026 benchmark on live product demonstrations, 27 interviews with software buyers, and a 75-point questionnaire covering 10 capability and 12 momentum categories. In its assessment, Verdantix recognised EiQ's use of LRQA's global audit network, combined with third-party assessment data, to give organisations a clearer view of supplier risk and due diligence.

A benchmark set in a fast-changing market

The supply chain software market has moved quickly since the 2024 edition. Regulation, trade pressure and rising data demands have reshaped what buyers need, and the field of providers has consolidated. Being included and recognised as an Innovator through that change reflects the direction we have taken with EiQ: a platform built to connect the whole responsible sourcing picture, not a single point tool.

That direction rests on three things:

1. Proprietary data others cannot replicate

EiQ is built on data from LRQA's responsible sourcing audit network: more than 30,000 on-the-ground audits a year across 100+ countries. This is primary, verified information from real supplier sites, not self-reported questionnaire scores. The platform combines this audit intelligence with third-party assessment data and continuous incident monitoring, so risk ratings reflect what is actually happening in a supply chain and update as conditions change.

2. A connected ecosystem, not a point solution

Many tools solve one part of the responsible sourcing problem. EiQ connects the full picture in one platform: supplier risk assessment, audit and assessment data, incident and adverse media monitoring, corrective action, and supplier training. Risk scores, assessment status and monitoring alerts can also flow directly into a client's own procurement and reporting systems, so responsible sourcing sits inside the way a business already works.

3. Expertise behind the platform

The technology is backed by people who understand responsible sourcing in practice: auditors, human rights and environmental specialists, data scientists and regulatory experts across LRQA and EiQ. That combination of a software platform and deep subject-matter knowledge is what helps clients move from data to decisions.
