What is EcoVadis?

EcoVadis is an evidence-based assessment that scores companies on four main themes: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The EcoVadis ratings and corresponding assessment are a way for companies to show their trading partners their commitment to sustainability across business operations and management systems.

The EcoVadis platform serves both public and private companies across a growing number of use cases, including Scope 3 carbon emissions management, private equity, ESG-linked loans, supply chain finance, and third-party risk and resilience.

Built to identify risks in the supply chain, EcoVadis has become a go-to tool that large companies use to evaluate their suppliers and decide who to conduct business with.

Widely used: More than 175,000 businesses across 250+ industry categories and 185+ countries use EcoVadis to monitor and improve the sustainability performance of their own business and trading partners
Buyer-driven adoption: Many global buyers now require a minimum score of 45 or higher to qualify suppliers
Recognized innovator: EcoVadis was named to Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies list for 2026
Easy peer comparison: The rated company can see how its score compares to the benchmark in their industry, which creates a "race to the top" in which whole industries compete to achieve global best practice

Who is it for?

We work with companies on both sides of the assessment. If a trading partner has asked you to complete an EcoVadis sustainability assessment, we'll help you respond effectively and put your best foot forward. If your company is looking to roll out EcoVadis across your supplier base, we can help you manage that process too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ‘good’ EcoVadis score?

EcoVadis scores are dissimilar to the traditional grading scheme in that there is no single passing score. Rather, EcoVadis compares you against your industry peers. In 2025, the global average for first-time responding companies was 51.5 with repeat responders having even higher scores. While there is no ‘good’ score per se, we often help our clients meet minimum score requirements provided by their customers and help them achieve year-over-year progress.

How can I improve my company’s EcoVadis score?

Score improvements can come from many different avenues. From strengthening existing documentation to providing more concrete evidence of measures implemented to collecting and tracking more data internally, we can help you identify which corrective actions are going to be the most impactful for your business. From there, we work with you to create, collect, attach, and submit materials that will maximize your score.

How do I get a medal on EcoVadis?

Medal eligibility is based on how your score ranks against other companies and is not a fixed value. Platinum requires a top 1% ranking, Gold top 5%, Silver top 15%, and Bronze top 35%, with no individual theme scoring below 30. Since thresholds shift as more companies get assessed, ongoing sustainability support helps ensure your score keeps pace with rising industry standards.

How long does the EcoVadis assessment process take?

We generally engage with clients 3-6 months before submitting an EcoVadis questionnaire. Time of engagement varies based on the size of the company, the length of the assessment, whether the client has submitted an assessment before, how long it takes to collect adequate documentation, and other time-related factors. After the questionnaire has been submitted, a published scorecard is received within 6-8 weeks.

How much does EcoVadis cost?

EcoVadis’ subscription pricing depends on your company size (XS, S, M, or L), plan tier (basic, premium, corporate), and country. More information on EcoVadis assessment pricing can be found here. Have questions on which plan tier is best for your business? We’d be happy to help you pick which one will best fit your needs.

Why is our customer asking our company to participate?

Many large buyers, like Amazon, now require suppliers to complete an EcoVadis assessment as part of their own sustainability and risk management commitments. As regulations like CSRD and the California Climate Laws come into play, there is an increased sense of pressure to understand supply chain impacts. Many of these large companies have set public targets to reduce emissions across their value chain, which requires supply chain engagement. Completing the EcoVadis assessment not only helps your customer meet its goals and objectives but also gives you insight into your own sustainability performance, which can be leveraged to obtain more business in the marketplace.
