SAN MATEO, Calif., June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As global markets re-emerge from the pandemic, "building back better" remains a top business priority. Yet despite this priority, many organizations struggle to actually implement their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. Today, Coupa Software (NASDAQ: COUP), a leader in Business Spend Management, announced new product innovations designed to help organizations maximize business and ESG impact through their spend. With Sustainable Business Spend Management (BSM), leaders of supply chain, sourcing, procurement, and finance can collaborate to ensure every dollar spent benefits the business, as well as the community and the planet.

"Companies have the power to drive sustainable impact with how they spend their money, such as choosing to buy from diverse suppliers or designing a transportation network that reduces carbon footprint," said Donna Wilczek, senior vice president of Product Strategy & Innovation at Coupa. "Coupa's BSM platform enables spend leaders to act in real time to achieve ESG and business impact, without sacrificing financial performance. We help turn good intentions into actions that have a measurable impact."

Key benefits and new capabilities include:

• Spend with Diverse and Sustainable Suppliers:
• Diversity and Sustainable Identifiers in Search Results & Filtering: Organizations can use visual tags on supplier records and item cards to identify if the supplier or product is from a diverse or sustainable business. Customers can also filter search results to only show suppliers or items from diverse or sustainable businesses.
• Custom Alerts: Companies can set opportunity triggers to help identify diverse suppliers when creating new requisitions.
  
• Best-in-Class Supplier Diversity Data:
• Diversity Data Collection: Collect supplier diversity data and certifications directly in the Supplier Information Management (SIM) tool via a comprehensive, easy-to-use form.
