response rate from suppliers to ESG self-evaluation
suppliers recognised as Avetta ESG Innovator winners
Kleinfelder partnered with Avetta to enhance ESG and DEI compliance across 500+ suppliers, achieving 80% evaluation completion, recognising top performers, and improving sustainability visibility and reporting.
Kleinfelder, an engineering, science and construction company, provides services to improve transportation, water, energy and other critical infrastructure. In 2023, the company reaffirmed its commitment to a sustainable, inclusive future and recognised the need for a partner who could help with growing ESG obligations. With over 500 critical suppliers in its supply chain, Kleinfelder engaged Avetta to gain visibility and compliance alignment, especially as client and regulatory sustainability demands increased.
After implementing Avetta, Kleinfelder worked with a dedicated Avetta team to identify key ESG and DEI risk areas, define baseline requirements using Avetta’s ESG Self-Evaluation (built on the UN framework), and track performance across its supplier network. By year end, 80% of these suppliers had completed the evaluation, and 25% were honoured as Avetta ESG Innovator winners. As a client and supplier in the Avetta system, Kleinfelder also helped close gaps in the pre-qualification questionnaire and contributed feedback that enhanced the platform’s functionality.
The partnership has enabled Kleinfelder to systematically monitor sustainability performance, improve supplier DEI reporting and integrate ESG data into its reporting systems. Peer benchmarking through Avetta’s network has helped Kleinfelder understand how its practices compare, promoting continuous improvements. With better visibility and centralised data, Kleinfelder is more resilient, better positioned to meet regulatory changes, and more confident in its supplier sustainability.
Kleinfelder is an engineering, science and construction company that delivers environmental work, geotechnical engineering, building design, construction management, and materials engineering and testing.
