In many industries, EcoVadis has evolved from an optional sustainability verification to a genuine award criterion. Increasingly, a valid EcoVadis rating is a prerequisite for new business relationships or supplier approvals. In this webinar, Sarah Hirsch from Nextra Consulting demonstrates how companies can not only pass their first EcoVadis assessment but also strategically utilize it for their own sustainability development.
Understanding the Assessment Logic
EcoVadis assesses four themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. For each category, not only actions but also policies, implementation, and evidence are considered. The webinar explains the scorecard logic and shows what companies should focus on during preparation.
Structured Preparation: Kick-off to Submission
The webinar describes a proven preparation process: kick-off and team setup, status quo analysis based on EcoVadis criteria, gap analysis with prioritization of quick wins and medium-term measures, structured document management (including handling the document limit), and finally, submission.
What you will learn in the webinar
- How to understand the EcoVadis business case and correctly interpret the assessment logic
- How to prepare in a structured way with kick-off, status quo analysis, and gap analysis
- How to optimally organize evidence, sustainability reports, and document uploads
