DEFINITION
EcoVadis is an assessment and rating system for corporate sustainability performance based on standardised criteria and evidence. Results are provided as scorecards across key areas (environment, labour and human rights, ethics, sustainable procurement).
DeclarationEcoVadis
EcoVadis assesses companies based on policies, actions, and results, as well as external evidence and sector-specific risks. Scorecards support customer/supplier demands, tenders, and supply chain programme management.
In practice, mapping EcoVadis questions against ESRS disclosures (CSRD) and internal metrics is recommended to reduce duplication of effort. A centralised evidence register with clear responsibilities and review cycles improves scores, auditability, and reusability across questionnaires (e.g. CDP).
