Sustainability at Assent
Our corporate sustainability journey, covering our Environmental, Social, & Governance efforts.
Committed to Deep Sustainability
From the Desk of Andrew Waitman, CEO
Assent is on a mission to make the world’s supply chains deeply and durably good. We have a responsibility to lead by example and guide manufacturers on their journeys to deep sustainability.
Supply chains represent the biggest opportunity and biggest obstacle on this journey. Here’s why: Complex manufacturing supply chains are deep and touch global communities, economies, and ecologies, yet they lack transparency without the right tools and guidance. When manufacturers make progress toward building a more sustainable supply chain, they have a broader net positive impact. Assent’s purpose is to use our depth of experience and perspective to chart a course toward meaningful sustainability and map out global supply chains for our customers.
We’re making it possible for others to journey alongside us by developing new solutions and services, and embracing new technologies like machine learning. The need for deeper supply chain insight is particularly urgent today, with stricter restrictions on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals.” Our advanced platform and team of experts mean that we’re able to quickly assist manufacturers as they comply with new regulations and protect human and environmental health.
