EcoVadis CSR assessment: a lever for improved sustainable performance
Sustainability and business ethics are crucial issues. EcoVadis’ CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) assessment plays a pivotal role in addressing these.
The process assesses the extent to which a company integrates the principles of sustainable development and social responsibility into its operations and management.
Rating methodology: EcoVadis adopts a multidimensional approach across four main themes:
- Environment: How is the company reducing its environmental impact? This includes assessing waste management, the reduction of CO2 emissions and the preservation of natural resources.
- Labour practices: This focuses on working conditions, respect for human rights and commitment to employees. Criteria such as workplace health and safety, industrial relations and training are examined.
- Business ethics: EcoVadis assesses transparency, anti-corruption measures and the governance systems put in place to prevent anti-competitive practices.
- Responsible procurement: This section examines how the company integrates its social responsibility principles into its supply chain.
Each area is evaluated using a set of specific criteria tailored to the industry, size and geographical location of the company being assessed.
