In BtoC, consumers value Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) actions. In BtoB, your customers may be required to prove their commitment to CSR, and therefore your own results in terms of sustainable development. Hence the importance of aiming for an excellent <strong>EcoVadis score<\/strong>.   <\/p><p>This world-class certification is distinguished by its focus on the value chain: suppliers. As a result, it has become a must-have for boosting your competitiveness and opening doors to new markets and partnerships. Obtaining it is more than just a formality or a badge to proudly display on your website. It&#8217;s much more than that: it&#8217;s a tangible recognition of your company&#8217;s commitment to CSR, which your customers will in turn be able to value.   <\/p><p>But how do you make sure you get that coveted bronze, silver, gold or platinum medal?

These criteria are in turn subdivided into 21 indicators, providing a global and detailed view of each company&#8217;s responsible practices. They are modulated according to each organization&#8217;s size, business sector and location. Your final score is a weighted average, and depending on your score, you could win one of the famous <strong>EcoVadis medals<\/strong>.   <\/p><table><tbody><tr><th>Medal level<\/th><th>Percentile rank<\/th><th>Overall score (indicative)*<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Platinum<\/td><td>Top 1<\/td><td> ~85+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gold<\/td><td>Top 5<\/td><td> ~78+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Silver<\/td><td>Top 25<\/td><td>~72+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bronze<\/td><td>Top 35<\/td><td> ~65+<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>* As of 2024, EcoVadis no longer communicates fixed point thresholds. Medals are awarded according to a company&#8217;s percentile ranking in relation to all companies assessed over the last 12 months. The above scores are indicative estimates which tend to increase from year to year.  <\/p><p>Your first task is to understand these criteria and where you stand in relation to them. A careful reading of the <strong>EcoVadis questionnaire<\/strong> and evaluation documents is a good place to start. Ask yourself the right questions:  <\/p><ul><li>Where does your company stand in terms of environmental management and waste recycling?<\/li><li>What policies have you put in place regarding equal opportunities and working conditions?<\/li><li>Are you transparent about your supply chain?<\/li><\/ul><p>Understanding these elements will help you prepare for the next step: improving your score.

This last point is important to remember: EcoVadis analysts won&#8217;t just read your documents, they&#8217;ll want to see the real impact of your actions. That&#8217;s why you need to link each document to concrete, quantifiable and, ideally, third-party verifiable results.  <\/p><p>A common mistake is to write general policies that lack precision. Instead, define clear objectives, both qualitative and quantitative. For example, if you commit to reducing CO\u2082 emissions, define a percentage reduction over a given period and track your progress with performance indicators (KPIs).  <\/p><p>Another mistake companies make is underestimating the importance of documentation in <strong>the EcoVadis assessment<\/strong>. For each criterion assessed, you will be asked to provide tangible evidence: internal policies, audit reports, certificates, etc. These documents must be authentic, reflect practices in force for at least three months, and above all, be relevant. These documents must be authentic, reflect practices that have been in force for at least three months, and above all, be relevant.  <\/p><p>Take the time to review your internal policies, sustainability reports, ethical charters and all other relevant documents. Make sure they are up to date, complete and aligned with international best practice. For example, if you have an environmental policy, does it comply with ISO 14001 standards? Are your ethical commitments clearly defined and backed up by concrete action?   <\/p><p>Here are a few tips to help you prepare these documents efficiently:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Centralize your information:<\/strong> create a shared folder where all relevant documents are stored. Make sure they&#8217;re up-to-date and easily accessible. <\/li><li><strong>Careful presentation:<\/strong> each document should mention your company&#8217;s name, logo, date of creation or revision, and a brief summary of actions taken.<\/li><li><strong>Highlight the results:<\/strong> the numbers speak for themselves. If you&#8217;ve managed to reduce your carbon footprint by 15% in two years, that&#8217;s the kind of information you absolutely must put forward. <\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aae421f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aae421f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

To do this, train your teams.    <\/p><p>Start by making your employees aware of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monentreprisedurable.ch\/en\/csr\/corporate-csr\/csr-in-the-workplace-its-importance-and-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSR issues<\/a><\/em><\/span> issues and the importance of EcoVadis certification.

Responsible purchasing accounts for 20% of your total score. You can easily put them in your bag by choosing business partners who respect the same CSR standards as you do.

One of the highlights of their approach was the 10% improvement in the environment category, which was decisive in moving from gold to platinum. They were also able to involve the whole company in this process, which led to significant results in all the categories assessed. This effort paid off, enabling the Swiss company to climb into the top 1% of companies audited worldwide.   <\/p><p>What&#8217;s particularly interesting about their approach is their ability to innovate and continually improve. Even after winning a gold medal, ALD&#8217;s managers didn&#8217;t relax their efforts; on the contrary, they sought to push back their limits.
