CGE-backed Ethixbase360 completes acquisition of Tcompliance

Ethixbase360, a leading provider of third-party risk management solutions backed by CGE Partners (“CGE”), is delighted to announce its acquisition of Tcompliance, formerly known as TRACE Inc. Together they form one of the world’s most complete approaches to third-party and supply chain risk management.

Tcompliance is renowned for its Tcertification reports, which are widely considered the best in class in anti-bribery due diligence. The company’s products complement Ethixbase360’s comprehensive third-party risk management solutions that offer screening and assessment capabilities for anti-corruption and anti-bribery risks, human rights abuses, labour and environment.

This acquisition highlights the important role of due diligence and transparency in third-party risk management amid the heightened complexity of today’s globally connected supply chains and the increasing pressure of ESG regulations. Ethixbase360 and Tcompliance’s benchmark methodology Explore, Enhance and Engage will enable companies to manage their supply chain based on risk exposure from low-touch automated screenings across the entire network to enhanced due diligence and hands-on engagement with high-risk suppliers and intermediaries.

“Since our inception in 2011, we have made it our mission to help companies bring transparency to 100% of their third-party network, because in a global value chain, you are only as strong as your weakest supplier. This acquisition is a significant milestone for Ethixbase360 and we’re delighted to formally welcome the Tcompliance team and continue our collaborative partnership under one roof.” Leas Bachatene, CEO at Ethixbase360.

“Tcompliance was born out of an industry governance body and this collaboration means we will be able to continue that mission now serving more customers who are in need of our products. We have found a natural synergy with Ethixbase360.” Pia Vining, President of Americas and Global Research for Ethixbase360.
