The Ecovadis sustainability certification has become one of the most important international benchmarks for measuring and comparing corporate sustainability. Through its Ecovadis platform, it assesses companies’ performance in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), sustainability and ethical management, using a methodology based on international standards.
More than 100,000 companies worldwide already use the Ecovadis assessment to improve their internal practices, communicate their performance to customers and suppliers, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
With our Ecovadis consultancy, we help you pass the Ecovadis audit successfully.
What is Ecovadis sustainability certification?
The Ecovadis audit assesses sustainability, awarding organisations a score on a scale of 0 to 100 points. Depending on the score obtained, the company can receive an Ecovadis medal (platinum, gold, silver or bronze).
This system has become a key tool for companies that want to position themselves as leaders in sustainability, social responsibility and sustainable procurement, as it allows them to compare themselves with other organisations in their sector and continuously improve.
The Ecovadis assessment is structured around 21 sustainability criteria, grouped into four main areas:
- Environment. Analysis of environmental policies, actions and results, including emissions reduction, waste management, consumption, energy efficiency and the circular economy.
- Labour practices and human rights. Assessment of working conditions, respect for human rights, occupational health and safety, diversity and inclusion.
- Ethics and good governance. Review of business integrity, anti-corruption practices, regulatory compliance and ethical business behaviour.
- Sustainable procurement. Analysis of the supply chain and responsible procurement practices, with a focus on critical supplier management.
