EcoVadis
What you need to know
The EcoVadis process involves an evidence-based approach and focuses on a wide range of non-financial management systems including environmental impact, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. This can be a fantastic first step on your sustainability journey, or a great way to demonstrate your progress if you’ve already begun.
EcoVadis covers a broad range of industries, making it easy for multinational companies to assess organisations from different regions under a standardised framework. Our Ecovadis consultancy service provides the ideal overview and a route to improvement.
How can EcoVadis make your business more sustainable?
Utilising EcoVadis can bring various benefits:
- Supply chain visibility: EcoVadis gives companies a clear view of the sustainability performance of their suppliers, allowing for a more transparent and accountable supply chain;
- Competitive advantage: companies that prioritise sustainable sourcing can differentiate themselves in the market and satisfy stakeholder demands, especially in sectors where consumers are increasingly value-driven;
- Efficient evaluation process: EcoVadis provides a standardised, data-driven method to evaluate suppliers, making the assessment process more streamlined and consistent across different regions and sectors;
- Regulatory compliance: EcoVadis can help companies stay compliant with evolving sustainability-related regulations and standards, reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties.
As we looked to enhance our sustainability performance we engaged Energise to support us with our initial Ecovadis assessment. Our timescale for submission were incredibly tight as we only had 6 weeks to pull everything together and submit the questionnaire. Energise and in particular our Project Lead Vibhati organised at short notice a project kick off meeting where she set out a timetable for delivery of the submission and was very clear on information she required from us. Vibhati is very professional, responsive and we certainly couldn’t have pulled everything together in such a short space of time without her knowledge and support. We would highly recommend the services provided by Energise."
