EcoVadis SAS is a French provider of business sustainability ratings and collaborative improvement tools for global supply chains. Its methodology assesses companies across four themes—Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement—using documented evidence and publicly available sources, and referencing standards such as the UN Global Compact, ISO 26000, and ILO conventions. Results are delivered as scorecards with detailed findings, corrective‑action recommendations, and a medal classification (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum).
In the chemical industry, procurement and supply chain teams use EcoVadis assessments to screen and benchmark suppliers, monitor sustainability risks, and drive continuous improvement, including climate action via optional carbon modules. The platform is widely used in initiatives such as Together for Sustainability (TfS) to harmonize sustainability criteria and performance expectations across chemical supply chains.
