In a move set to boost global efforts toward net zero supply chains, business sustainability ratings leader EcoVadis has appointed Dexter Galvin as its new Climate Ambassador. Galvin, a seasoned sustainability executive and former Chief Commercial and Partnerships Officer at CDP, brings nearly two decades of experience in environmental disclosure and Scope 3 emissions strategy.

In his new position, Galvin will collaborate with EcoVadis partners and clients to drive supply chain decarbonization and represent the company at key global climate events. His focus will be on advancing reliable, high-quality carbon data to accelerate emissions reductions, particularly in Scope 3—the often hardest-to-measure emissions category tied to suppliers and upstream business activities.

“Unlocking the next generation of Scope 3 emissions reduction requires a new level of carbon data reliability that does not exist in the market today,” said Pierre-François Thaler, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of EcoVadis. “Dexter’s experience and expertise will be instrumental as we continue on our mission to decarbonize supply chains faster.”

During his 16-year tenure at CDP, Galvin led the global expansion of the organization’s flagship supply chain program, which grew to reach over 20,000 suppliers worldwide. He was central to shaping how corporations assess environmental performance and climate risks in their value chains.

“EcoVadis provides organizations access to the highest quality primary carbon data available on the market today,” said Galvin. “This role is an incredible opportunity to work alongside the smartest minds in business sustainability and make an exponential impact at scale.”

EcoVadis has become a pivotal platform for companies aiming to meet growing stakeholder and regulatory demands on sustainability reporting, particularly in areas such as Scope 3 emissions, climate disclosures, and supply chain ESG risk management.

As climate regulations tighten across Europe, North America, and beyond, the ability to act on dependable carbon data and supplier transparency is no longer a competitive advantage—it’s a necessity.
