This is a new feature that gives customers a new way to interact with their performance data. You’ll see how your scores compare with other rated companies in the EcoVadis Network, as well as track year-over-year performance. This feature is available to Premium, Corporate and Select subscribers as well as requesting companies. Note: The static Benchmark view in the “legacy” scorecard is not included in the revamped scorecard. 

Note that scorecards published:

• After 1 June 2022 are updated to the revamped design.
• Before 1 June 2022 are displayed in the legacy scorecard design. 

To view your company’s sustainability scorecard:

• Go to www.ecovadis-survey.com/app/. 
• Log in using your username (your email address) and password. A "forgot password" link is also available on the login page.
• Go to the My Performance menu on your top left side.

On the My Performance page, go to the Scorecard tab.

By default, your company’s latest scorecard is shown. You can select another publication date to view previous scorecards. EcoVadis considers a scorecard valid for 12 months after its publication. We recommend reassessing your company annually. Sustainability best practices are constantly evolving, and an annual assessment provides your trading partners with insights into the improvements you implemented within the previous year. The scorecard’s validity date is specified next to the publication date.

To learn more about our scoring methodology, check our EcoVadis CSR Scoring Principles, also available inside the questionnaire and the platform under the Useful Resources section.
