ECOVADIS SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT

EcoVadis CSR Rating Online Platform

Since its founding in 2007, EcoVadis has grown to become the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, creating a global network of more than 90,000+ rated companies. Global supply chains, financial institutions, and public organizations rely on EcoVadis to monitor and improve the sustainability performance of their business and trading partners. The EcoVadis sustainability assessment is divided into four stages: Registration, Questionnaire, Expert analysis and Results. The Sustainability Scorecard illustrates performance across 21 indicators in four themes - Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics & Sustainable Procurement. This Assessment helps the organization monitor their performance, create reports, and engage their team on analyzing the risks and develop performance goals. The performance of a company is rated by accessing their company policies, actions, and results as well as inputs from third party professional and external stakeholders. EcoVadis operates an evidence-based online platform, providing supplier sustainability ratings and allowing companies to assess the ESG performance of their global suppliers. It considers a range of CSR issues, which are grouped into four themes: ‘Environment’, ‘Labor & Human Rights’, ‘Ethics’, and ‘Sustainable Procurement’. EcoVadis has defined 21 CSR Criteria, based on international sustainable development standards including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000. Among these 21 criteria, EcoVadis selects the ones that are relevant for your company. This is based on your activities’ specific challenges, as well as on your geographical location and company size. The central objective of the rating is to measure the quality of a company’s CSR management system through its policies, actions, and results. The results are presented in a scoring card which provides a clear overview of the strengths and points of improvements. EcoVadis scorecards are valid for twelve months after the publication date and one reassessment is included in an annual subscription.
