There is no such thing as an official EcoVadis “certification”, because EcoVadis is not a certification body.
The platform provides a CSR assessment that assigns a score out of 100 and, when applicable, a medal (Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum).
To check whether a company has been assessed by EcoVadis, you must look for an official medal or a shared scorecard.
Understanding What an EcoVadis Assessment Really Is
EcoVadis evaluates companies across four major sustainability themes:
- Environment
- Labor & Human Rights
- Ethics
- Sustainable Procurement
Each company receives a global score, calculated from 21 criteria organized into three main dimensions: Policies, Actions and Results.
Based on this score, a company may receive a medal:
Ways to Check if a Company Has an EcoVadis Rating
There is no public database listing all companies assessed by EcoVadis.
However, several reliable methods exist.
1. Check the company’s official communications
Companies with an EcoVadis rating often highlight it in:
- Their website’s CSR or sustainability page,
- Press releases or LinkedIn posts,
- CSR / ESG reports that include the medal and year,
- Email signatures or corporate brochures.
A typical statement:
“Company X received the EcoVadis Gold Medal 2025 for its CSR performance.”
2. Check the EcoVadis platform
EcoVadis client companies can view the scorecards of their suppliers, partners or subcontractors, provided the rated company chooses to share its score.
This feature is key for managing sustainability performance across supply chains.
3. Look at official EcoVadis publications
Each year, EcoVadis releases:
- Press announcements
- Sector studies
- Ranking reports
These often highlight top-performing companies, such as Platinum medal holders.
What an EcoVadis Medal Really Means
An EcoVadis medal indicates that a company has a structured CSR management system, assessed according to international standards (ISO 26000, GRI, CSRD…).
It is a recognition of performance, not a regulatory certification.
A medal confirms:
- A full assessment by independent analysts,
- Verified transparency,
- Alignment with international CSR expectations.
