Ulula, founded in 2015 by Antoine Heuty, has developed technologies for collecting data directly from workers in sectors such as agriculture, energy and mining. Thanks to this acquisition, EcoVadis will now be able to offer more accurate and reliable information on labor practices within companies, strengthening its assessment solutions.

The need for this step forward is underlined by statistics from the International Labor Organization, which reveal that 63% of the 28 million people in forced labor situations are employed in the private sector. New legislation, such as the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD), imposes strict transparency and reporting obligations.

Pierre-François Thaler, co-founder and co-CEO of EcoVadis, commented: "This acquisition enables us to strengthen our efforts in terms of vigilance and reporting on risks related to human rights and working conditions. We are committed to providing our customers with reliable data directly from the field."

The integration of Ulula technology will also enable regular surveys and large-scale sampling, while guaranteeing user confidentiality thanks to an anonymous complaints system. This innovative approach offers a solution accessible from any device and in 114 languages.

Antoine Heuty added: "Joining forces will enable us to accelerate positive impact on an unprecedented scale. Together, we can better address human rights challenges in global supply chains."

With this acquisition, EcoVadis positions itself as a key player in helping companies comply with new regulations and promote fair and responsible labor practices worldwide.
