What is EcoVadis?
EcoVadis is a global sustainability ratings provider that evaluates companies’ role in sustainability based on their performance in four key areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
Ultimately, EcoVadis’ comprehensive assessments help businesses identify areas for improvement, benchmarking their efforts against industry standards, and ensuring reliable ratings.
