Ethixbase Acquires Tcompliance

Ethixbase, a leading provider of third-party risk management solutions, announced that it has completed its acquisition of Tcompliance, formally known as TRACE Inc., forming one of the world’s most complete approaches to third-party and supply chain risk management.

This acquisition highlights the important role of due diligence and transparency in third-party risk management amid the heightened complexity of today’s globally connected supply chains and the increasing pressure of ESG regulations. Ethixbase and Tcompliance’s benchmark methodology Explore, Enhance and Engage will enable companies to manage their supply chain based on risk exposure from low-touch automated screenings across the entire network to enhanced due diligence and hands-on engagement with high-risk suppliers and intermediaries.

Tcompliance is well-known for its Tcertification reports, which are widely considered the gold standard in anti-bribery due diligence. The company’s products complement Ethixbase’s comprehensive third-party risk management solutions that offer screening and assessment capabilities for anti-corruption/anti-bribery risks, human rights abuses, labor and environment.

Since its inception in 2011, Ethixbase’s mission has been to help companies bring transparency to 100% of their third-party network, as global supply chains are only as strong as a company’s weakest supplier.

Here is what customers can expect as Tcompliance integrates with the Ethixbase platform:

• An expanded suite of offerings, including the recently launched ESGmetrics solution.
• Enhanced third-party risk management technology that allows for benchmarking across ESG risk areas, continuous monitoring, resilience scoring, as well as e-learning and certification all on one platform.
• Extensive dashboard, reporting and analytics capabilities through configurable and automated workflows.
• The most comprehensive due diligence review on the market, with discreet and collaborative engagement to help companies rapidly onboard intermediaries at all stages of maturity.
