EcoVadis Assessment for Your Company
The essentials in 30 seconds
  • An EcoVadis assessment showcases CSR performance, strengthens credibility and structures your long-term sustainability strategy.
  • Global recognition (130,000+ companies, 180 countries), aligned with ISO 26000, GRI, UN Global Compact, CSRD and SBTi.
  • A management tool: full diagnosis, prioritization, cross-department coordination and continuous improvement.
  • A commercial lever: access to tenders, differentiation, B2B trust; score valid 12 months.

Completing an EcoVadis assessment enables a company to showcase its CSR performance, strengthen credibility with partners, and structure its long-term sustainability strategy.

Beyond the medal itself, EcoVadis is a strategic management tool, internationally recognized for enhancing transparency and responsible competitiveness.

The platform is built on international standards (ISO 26000, GRI, UN Global Compact, CSRD, SBTi) and is used by more than 130,000 companies across 180 countries.

What this brings to the company

  • Official recognition of CSR maturity through a transparent score
  • Easier B2B relationships, especially with corporations requiring an EcoVadis rating
  • Alignment with global frameworks, making future compliance easier
