What EcoVadis is and how to get the EcoVadis medal
EcoVadis is a leading sustainable business assessment platform that analyses and ranks companies through a global cloud-based software-as-a-service platform.
To earn the EcoVadis medal, a company must undergo EcoVadis’ comprehensive sustainability practices assessment process, and if the job is done well, it will score high enough in its final assessment questionnaire.
Thus, the operation and classification of this service consists of carrying out a complete analysis of the companies, the results of which are recorded on an evaluation form. The EcoVadis score is obtained through the following classification criteria:
- Environment
- Labour practice and human rights
- Sustainability and responsible purchasing
- Business ethics
Once the assessment has been completed, the percentage is summarized in a score sheet which shows the recognized sustainability aspects and improvement points of the companies and a final score is awarded.
The EcoVadis methodology is based on international sustainability standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) or the United Nations Global Compact, making it one of the most reliable sustainability recognitions in the world.
Congratulations to all the people who are part of the Lidering family. This award is by and for all of them.
