How Greenly Helps Your Company Get an EcoVadis Label

Companies are facing growing pressure from customers, investors, and procurement teams to demonstrate credible sustainability and ESG performance. As a result, many organisations are turning to sustainability frameworks, certifications, and assessment platforms to measure and communicate their environmental and social impact.

One of the most widely used sustainability assessment platforms is EcoVadis, which evaluates companies across key areas such as environmental impact, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. EcoVadis assessments are commonly used within global supply chains to support supplier evaluation, risk management, and ESG transparency efforts.

What is EcoVadis, why does it matter, and how can Greenly help companies prepare for an EcoVadis assessment?

The EcoVadis assessment framework is based on international sustainability standards, including:

Companies are assessed across four key themes:

EcoVadis uses a scorecard system to benchmark sustainability performance and provide companies with actionable recommendations for improvement. Depending on a company’s overall score and percentile ranking, organisations may also receive EcoVadis recognition medals such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.

For many businesses, EcoVadis has become increasingly important due to growing ESG disclosure requirements, supply chain due diligence expectations, and procurement standards from enterprise customers.

As sustainability expectations continue to expand across global supply chains, EcoVadis has become an increasingly important benchmark for companies seeking to demonstrate credible ESG performance. Many large organisations now use EcoVadis ratings as part of their supplier onboarding, procurement, and risk management processes.

For businesses operating in enterprise supply chains, a strong EcoVadis score can help:

In some sectors, suppliers may even be required to complete an EcoVadis assessment before entering or renewing commercial partnerships. As a result, companies are increasingly expected to provide structured evidence of sustainability initiatives, emissions reduction strategies, labour policies, and ethical business practices.

Preparing for an EcoVadis assessment can be challenging, particularly for companies managing sustainability data across multiple teams, suppliers, or locations.

One of the biggest obstacles is collecting and organising the documentation required to support sustainability claims. Businesses are often expected to provide evidence related to environmental performance, labour policies, ethics practices, and sustainable procurement initiatives.

Many organisations also struggle with:

Because of these challenges, many companies choose to use carbon accounting or ESG reporting platforms, like Greenly's, to streamline data collection, improve reporting accuracy, and simplify EcoVadis preparation.

Preparing for an EcoVadis assessment often requires companies to centralise sustainability data, measure emissions accurately, and organise supporting documentation across multiple business functions.

Greenly helps companies streamline this process through carbon accounting, automated data collection, and sustainability reporting support. The platform is designed to help organisations prepare the environmental data and documentation commonly requested during EcoVadis assessments.

Greenly supports companies by helping them:

Improving EcoVadis readiness often requires companies to take a structured and consistent approach to sustainability reporting, emissions tracking, and documentation management.

While every organisation’s assessment will differ depending on its size, industry, and operations, several best practices can help simplify the preparation process and strengthen reporting outcomes.
