EMPLOYEES: ~ 400 CEO: PIERRE-FRANÇOIS THALER FOUNDED: 2007
EcoVadis manages sustainability risk and performance, with over 150,000 businesses using the tools for risk and carbon management. It provides supply chain screening and scorecards with ratings, with its scoring methodology based on three pillars: policies( 25 %), actions( 40 %) and results( 35 %). This offers a holistic view of a company’ s sustainability management.
Scorecards show strengths and areas for improvement, and the platform allows businesses to share ratings with partners to maintain accountability in the supply chain. The system monitors performance across environment, labour, human rights and ethics. Companies use data to benchmark suppliers and implement improvement plans and the platform includes an e-learning component to assist in the transition to sustainability. It identifies risks and provides a framework for stability.
By using Ecovadis ratings, procurement teams are able to align strategic decisions with social and environmental commitments, organising information to support transparency and manage global supply chains.
