EcoVadis Advantages
EFFICIENT, TIME-SAVING APPROACH
Get evaluated just once (typically every 12 to 24 months) with our customized questionnaire
and then easily reuse/share the results with all of your clients.
LEVERAGE YOUR EXISTING DOCUMENTS
Avoid redundant uploads and reporting: You can reuse many existing certificates and
documents directly in EcoVadis. E.g. your carbon data will be automatically integrated if
you’re a member of the CDP project.
NET COST SAVINGS
Because of the staff time saved avoiding multiple surveys, most suppliers report
payback/savings with the 2nd or 3rd client-shared. This is even more important for small
businesses with limited CSR staff. The more you share your results, the greater the savings.
DATA CONFIDENTIALITY
…and independent, expert analysis. You decide with whom you share your evaluation results.
ROBUST METHODOLOGY
Already tested on thousands of companies, the EcoVadis methodology is supervised by a
scientific committee, and follows major international Sustainable Development standards.
