This initiative will also see Ivalua committing to taking strategic actions towards the advancement of broader societal goals outlined by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

“At Ivalua we strive to make a positive social and economic impact, not just through our core business, but also through the way we operate, viewing these as interconnected objectives,”  said David Khuat-Duy, Ivalua’s founder and CEO.

As we strengthen our global sustainability platform, Ivalua’s most impactful contribution will emerge from the successful implementation of our spend management solutions with some of the world’s leading brands. The way we spend matters, and we are collectively committed to long-term sustainable growth.”
