My trading partner completed the assessment, so why can't I see their score?

When inviting your trading partner to complete an assessment, you are requesting that a specific legal entity be assessed. This specific entity is defined by us as the assessment scope (eg. subsidiary under a larger parent company/ group). As the EcoVadis assessment is customized to each entity, your trading partner may choose to tailor the assessment to their specific structure, such as a particular subsidiary or manufacturing site that works with you directly or to the entity within a group of companies that is responsible for sustainability reporting. 

Changes to the scope of the assessment can be requested by your trading partners, or they can be done by the EcoVadis Team. If your trading partner has paid for their assessment, they may choose to request a change in the assessment scope, which may mean that the scorecard they have is published under a different name/ scope than the one you initially requested. In these cases, we recommend that you check with your contact at the trading partner to confirm what the scope of the assessment was and, if possible, request the exact entity name from your contact. You can then search for this entity within the Directory on your EcoVadis platform. Once the correct entity is identified in the directory, you may invite the trading partner to share their scorecard with you. 

If the selected trading partner has other entities of the same group registered with EcoVadis, they will be able to choose during the registration process the most appropriate entity to participate in the assessment.

In cases where the indicated scope is not recommended or not allowed (e.g. no legal entity, purely commercial venture, etc.), EcoVadis will determine the legal entity name by applying the rule of “most relevant scope” (= scope allowed + recommended at a higher level).

The initially invited company is now displayed in the Network. Requesting companies can access the scorecard of the targeted rated company (to which the initial invitation has been redirected) by either clicking the link “Other scorecard used” or by expanding the title and clicking on the name of the target rated company. The reasons behind the scope change are shown in the expanded view.

Note: Trading partners are not entitled to request any changes in assessment scope if the requesting company fully finances the assessment.
