What is EcoVadis?
EcoVadis is a platform for evaluating the non-financial performance of companies. To carry out this evaluation, EcoVadis asks companies to complete an online questionnaire, which is then analysed. Public evidence is required for each statement. The questionnaire and the weighting of the themes are prepared based on the sector of activity, country, size of the company and previous scores. The level of difficulty of the questions asked changes every year, allowing the various staff departments involved to take stock of annual achievements to encourage continuous improvement.
