Blue Yonder has been named a Leader in Verdantix’s Green Quadrant: Supply Chain Sustainability Software (2026). The assessment focuses on software that places sustainability capabilities inside core supply chain applications rather than limiting them to reporting processes.
The company’s tools allow users to consider carbon emissions, waste and ESG risk alongside cost and service performance. Blue Yonder says this approach can reduce data-gathering work and help companies act on sustainability targets during normal planning and execution activities.
Its solutions provide supply chain emissions visibility and support scenario analysis involving alternative suppliers, materials and production routes. Verdantix also highlighted the role of Blue Yonder Orchestrator, which coordinates AI agents that deliver natural-language insights on environmental KPIs. Use cases include incorporating carbon and waste into planning and assessing a switch from air freight to ocean transport.
The Logistics Emissions Calculator measures emissions across multimodal transport using GLEC-accredited and ISO 14083-aligned methodology. Blue Yonder Network supports multi-tier material traceability, supplier ESG risk management and sustainability performance assessment.
The recognition covers planning and execution capabilities within Blue Yonder Sustainable Supply Chain Management, including transport emissions optimisation, end-to-end sustainability for manufacturing and retail planning, and traceability and risk management.
