Question

If our score is poor, is it publicly shared or visible to others?

No. EcoVadis scorecards are not publicly shared by default. Your score is only visible to buyers you actively choose to share it with, and a company that receives a poor score can decline to share it. Some buyers who initiated or co-funded the assessment may be able to see that it was completed without a scorecard being shared — which can itself be a signal — but no third party can access your score without your consent. Sharing settings are entirely within your control on the platform.
