While companies are increasingly publishing ESG reports and working on their reporting methodologies, the significance of sustainability ratings is rising. Their importance for companies is pivotal, as they attract investors, help to manage potential risks, ensure regulatory compliance, bolster public reputation and mainly offer a transparent assessment of your efforts in the field of sustainability and ESG.
In our article ESG ratings: How to navigate the maze, we looked into the complex ecosystem of sustainability ratings, giving you an insight into what is actually measured with ESG scores, which criteria are generally taken into account, how various ratings differ in the methodologies they use and what we can expect from the upcoming EU legislation that aims to regulate ESG rating providers and to introduce higher transparency in this market.
Now we are going to focus on one rating in particular - EcoVadis. Established in 2007, EcoVadis is a comprehensive sustainability rating tool assessing environmental, social, and ethical performance of a company, based on a thorough analysis of both internal and external documentation. The following text delves into the methodology, suitability, and benefits of the EcoVadis rating, shedding light on its assessment process and requirements.
