Frequently asked questions about
EcoVadis rating

What do I have to do to get my EcoVadis rating?

To receive your EcoVadis rating, you must apply for and complete the questionnaire, submit all the required evidence and present your sustainability strategies clearly and consistently. We support you in mastering all the necessary steps.

How does the EcoVadis application process work?

The process involves several steps: First, companies must register. They then receive the EcoVadis questionnaire, which they must complete and provide evidence of their answers with relevant documents. Following a review by EcoVadis, an assessment is carried out and a scorecard is created that reflects the company's sustainability performance.

How can I improve my EcoVadis rating?

Improving the rating requires an analysis of the scorecard, the identification of potential for improvement and the implementation of appropriate measures. We help you to take targeted steps to continuously improve your rating.

Does the EcoVadis rating have to be repeated annually and how much effort is involved?

The EcoVadis rating is required annually to ensure the continuous improvement of sustainability. The effort involved may vary depending on the size of the company, but recurring assessments facilitate the relevant processes.

What advantages does a good EcoVadis rating have for my company?

A good EcoVadis rating strengthens your corporate image, builds trust with customers and partners and gives you access to new business opportunities. It also improves your competitiveness and positions your company as a sustainable market leader.

How do the EcoVadis Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze ratings differ?

The EcoVadis rating is based on a points scale that evaluates a company's sustainability performance. The medals that are awarded depend on the company's percentage ranking in comparison with other participating companies. They are therefore relative.

Here is an overview of the medals:  

  • Platinum: Companies in the top 1%  
  • Gold: Companies in the top 2-5%  
  • Silver: Companies in the top 6-15%  
  • Bronze: Companies in the top 16-30%
