HR and payroll leader strengthens climate accountability and regulatory preparedness with an integrated sustainability management platform
Belgium, 25th February, 2026 – SD Worx, a leading European provider of HR and payroll solutions, has partnered with sustainability technology company Credibl to deploy an AI-powered platform that centralizes ESG, carbon, and supplier sustainability data across its international operations.
As EU sustainability regulation accelerates, organizations face growing expectations for emissions disclosure, value chain due diligence, and assurance-ready reporting. SD Worx is responding by further strengthening its sustainability capabilities through a more integrated digital system designed to meet evolving European requirements while enhancing transparency and operational resilience.
SD Worx selected Credibl’s AI-native Smart Sustainability Stack, an integrated platform that unifies carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and supplier sustainability intelligence, as its enterprise foundation for sustainability management and value chain oversight.
Aligning with Europe’s Evolving Reporting Requirements
Credibl’s platform consolidates emissions data, ESG metrics, and supplier insights into a governed, traceable environment. This enables SD Worx to move from periodic reporting to continuous sustainability management aligned with CSRD and ESRS.
Reliable ESG and Carbon Data at Scale
The centralized data foundation supports Scope 1, 2, and 3 accounting, structured ESG disclosures, audit-ready documentation, and AI-powered data collection, mapping, and validation, helping SD Worx deliver reliable, well-governed sustainability information across its operations.
Expanding Transparency Across the Value Chain
As European regulation places greater emphasis on supply chain accountability, Credibl’s AI-driven supplier assessments help SD Worx evaluate Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, strengthen engagement, enhance Scope 3 Category 1 and 2 emissions calculations, and improve traceability in line with emerging EU value chain due diligence requirements.
AI That Transforms Sustainability Compliance and Reporting
Credibl’s AI-native architecture streamlines sustainability workflows through automated emissions factor mapping, built-in validation checks, and AI-assisted disclosure preparation. These capabilities support SD Worx’s current reporting cycle while creating a scalable foundation for future EU obligations.
“European sustainability expectations are evolving rapidly, particularly around transparency and accountability across value chains,” said Kelly Lespinoy, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, SD Worx. “By partnering with Credibl, we are strengthening data reliability, enhancing supplier oversight, and embedding sustainability performance into our broader operational decision-making while delivering credible, assurance-ready disclosures aligned with emerging EU requirements.”
“European regulation is setting a global benchmark for sustainability accountability,” said Jitesh Shetty, CEO of Credibl. “SD Worx is building an AI-powered sustainability backbone that connects carbon, ESG, and supplier data to support both regulatory readiness and long-term resilience.”
