How-to guides

The downloadable EcoVadis how-to guides are a series of short and practical e-books providing you with further guidance on specific sustainability topics. Each guide addresses a particular improvement area on the scorecard, explaining the importance of the subject and the management indicator (e.g., policies, endorsements, measures). There are also concrete examples and best practices for developing your policies, actions and reporting results for particular sustainability topics.

These guides can be found on the Useful Resources menu mentioned above.

Corrective action plan

To embark on a continuous improvement journey, you can use the Corrective Action Plan feature to work on improvement areas and collaborate with your trading partners. Learn how to use the Corrective Action Plan to build your improvement plans.

Training Partners Program

As a rating agency, EcoVadis cannot provide direct consulting services. However, if you are seeking more ways to understand, respond and improve your EcoVadis score, take a look at the Official Training and Consulting partner program at https://ecovadis.com/training-partners/.

Starting a reassessment

The EcoVadis Scorecard is valid for 12 months after the publication date. Sustainability best practices are constantly evolving, and an annual assessment provides you and your trading partners with insights into the improvements you implemented within the previous year. After 12 months from your last assessment, new sharing requests your company receives will trigger a reassessment process. Learn more about getting a reassessment.
