Building a platform for sustainability
summary
Neste builds a Supplier Sustainability Portal to collect supplier sustainability, supply‑chain and delivery data and it runs on a Drupal back end with React front end. The system models 15 feedstocks, supports hundreds of suppliers of vastly different sizes, and replaces paper/email workflows with integrations to ERP and batch processing using custom REST resources. Agile teams of ~20 deliver iterative MVPs; the platform already handles ~100,000 lines of code and improves data quality and supplier engagement.
