What are the score requirements and eligibility criteria for EcoVadis Medals?

The EcoVadis overall score (0-100) reflects the quality of the company's sustainability management system at the time of the assessment. 

The EcoVadis sustainability recognition levels are based upon the percentile rank of your company's EcoVadis score, and a minimum theme score*. The medals’ criteria are reviewed periodically.

 

The criteria for scorecards published from 1 January 2022 are as follows:

Platinum - top 1% (overall score between 75 and 100)

Gold - top 5% (overall score between 67 and 74)

Silver - top 25% (overall score between 56 and 66)

Bronze - top 50% (overall score between 47 and 55)

 

The criteria for scorecards published from 1 January 2020 are as follows:

Platinum - top 1% (overall score between 73 and 100)

Gold - top 5% (overall score between 66 and 72)

Silver - top 25% (overall score between 54 and 65)

Bronze - top 50% (overall score between 45 and 53)

 

*No medal is assigned for overall scores below 47, or if there is a low theme score (≤20) in any of the four themes (Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement).

*Percentile rank is calculated across all companies in all industries, not per industry.

 

For a medal to be awarded upon scorecard publication, in addition to the above conditions, the following requirements must be met:

  1. The rated company cannot operate in the following industries: Manufacture of tobacco products (ISIC code 1200), Mining of coal and lignite (ISIC division 05), Manufacture of weapons and ammunition (ISIC code 2520), Manufacture of air and spacecraft and related machinery (ISIC code 3030);
  2. The scorecard includes no more than three major negative 360° Watch Findings across three themes, and/or no severe negative 360° Watch Finding in any theme:
    • For the past three years in Environment, Labor & Human Rights and Sustainable Procurement themes; 
    • For the past five years in the Ethics theme.

The EcoVadis score and medal program shall not be considered a substitute for specific certification schemes.

In some cases, if the number of minor 360° Watch Findings collected is significant, their cumulative impact is also taken into consideration and may affect the medal allocation. For example, 25 minor negative 360° Watch Findings for one or more themes may decrease the score by 15.75 points.

To learn more about 360° Watch Findings and their impact on medal allocation, download
“EcoVadis 360° Watch: A Key Component of the Assessment Methodology”, available on your
EcoVadis platform, in the Useful Resources page, in the EcoVadis Assessment tab. This document provides a definition of major and severe negative impacts along with example cases for each of the four themes.
