Impact Sourcing
Step into the realm of responsible business practices and sustainability with an employer of record (EOR). Numerous studies have suggested that organizations with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives are better equipped to create a positive impact on the world while also driving growth and business success. Read on to discover how EOR partners can guide organizations toward achieving their ESG goals, including architecting a blueprint for a sustainable workforce.

By incorporating ESG principles into an organization’s vision and strategy, businesses can align themselves with broader ethical and sustainable goals. The “E” emphasizes preserving natural resources, “S” nurtures relationships and reputation within communities, and “G” commits to upholding impeccable corporate ethics and governance. In a nutshell, ESG charts a course for businesses to be responsible, well-regarded, and successful all at once.
Enterprises can build a sustainable global employment and mobility strategy by leveraging the services of an EOR, a third-party organization that enables companies to legally engage with workers in a new country or region without needing to set up a legal entity or risking violating local laws. The EOR undertakes the responsibility to pay and manage permanent or temporary employees on behalf of another company.
EOR providers have emerged as key partners in assisting organizations not only to build a resilient and diverse workforce but also to foster a sustainable future that aligns with their ESG commitments. Let’s explore this further.
Traditionally, business success has been measured by the bottom line. But what if success was not only about making a profit but also about the difference the organization makes? By balancing the needs of people, the planet, and profit in a sustainable way for all stakeholders, businesses can generate true value. This “triple bottom line” approach has pioneered a new era of business prosperity.
EOR firms act as guiding partners, helping businesses embrace flexibility, inclusivity, and ethical practices. EOR providers can help organizations advance their ESG goals in the following key ways:
EOR providers act as catalysts for change, enabling organizations to cultivate a sustainable workforce that flourishes within today’s dynamic business environment. By promoting environmentally friendly practices, nurturing a socially inclusive work environment, and upholding ethical governance standards, EOR providers empower organizations to realize their ESG commitments and goals.
As the world continues to evolve, EOR providers remain unwavering allies, guiding organizations toward a future where both business success and societal well-being go hand in hand. A workforce characterized by sustainability, diversity, and accountability can materialize through these collaborative efforts. Partnering with EOR providers can help organizations transcend from simply aspiring to have a globally dispersed sustainable workforce to achieving that exciting vision.
Procurement Outsourcing (PO) providers are seen as strategic partners by organizations and are playing a critical role in helping them navigate the challenges posed by macroeconomic uncertainties and inflationary pressures by driving cost reduction and enhancing efficiencies. With the increasing willingness to outsource judgment-intensive strategic procurement processes, service providers are building strong domain expertise and digital transformation capabilities to drive value acceleration for organizations. Service providers are offering a comprehensive procurement digital ecosystem with advanced technology capabilities comprising end-to-end platform solutions, best-of-breed suites, and point solutions by leveraging in-house capabilities, partnership ecosystems, and targeted investments. Leading providers are also investing in developing capabilities and solutions in emerging areas such as sustainability, risk management, and direct spend management.

Everest Group’s Eric Simonson, Managing Partner, and Rita N. Soni, Principal Analyst for Impact Sourcing and Sustainability, will attend the Clinton Global Initiative 2023 meeting on September 18-19 in New York City. This year’s focus is what it takes to keep going.
Last year, Everest Group pledged to dramatically increase the impact sourcing workforce – connecting hundreds of thousands of marginalized individuals to new jobs – by providing research and enablement tools, sharing best practices, and engaging enterprises, service providers, governments, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in collaborative efforts.
Everest Group’s Commitment to Action is to grow the impact sourcing market to half a million in three years. As the CGI community knows, making and keeping commitments isn’t easy. Despite this, we know the antidote is as simple as it is true – we must keep going.
Eric and Rita will join colleagues and global stakeholders at the event to discuss impact sourcing, the potential it provides to companies and underserved communities around the world, and initiatives to help companies incorporate impact sourcing into their business models.

Climate change is the paramount problem of the decade, demanding urgent attention and action. Communities worldwide feel the consequences, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, ecological disruptions, and health risks. This underscores the need for immediate and concerted efforts to mitigate and adapt to this unprecedented crisis. In response, enterprises increasingly recognize the importance of embarking on their net-zero journey to address the climate crisis.
However, many enterprises face challenges that hinder their progress, such as limited resources, unclear roadmaps, siloed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data, and the complexity of transitioning their operations and supply chains to low-carbon alternatives. Additionally, boardrooms are divided between short-term budgetary constraints and long-term net-zero commitments and compliance mandates due to macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.
Net-zero consulting service providers play a vital role in helping enterprises navigate these challenges. They offer innovative data-backed solutions and technologies, such as AI, ML, blockchain, and IoT, to contextualize sustainability and drive maximum value. Furthermore, they assist enterprises in achieving the necessary behavioral shift through change management efforts.
This report captures the current state of the net-zero consulting services market, exploring trends and key drivers shaping the demand-supply dynamics. The report also provides a detailed view of the net-zero consulting capabilities of 31 providers based on their service focus, key Intellectual Property (IP) / solutions, domain investments, and demonstrated market proof points.
