What carbon footprint does EcoVadis expect?

15 entries.

• ArticleEcoVadis supplier engagement programmes: from launch to lasting impact

  Segment before you invite, set requirements grounded in a baseline, then measure: how to design a supplier engagement programme that lasts.

• QuestionHow can we improve without Scope 3 targets — or without any GHG data at all?

  Scope 3 targets are not a prerequisite and their absence is not penalised: the expectation falls first on Scopes 1 and 2.

• ArticleHow can you improve your EcoVadis score quickly before renewal?

  Five quick wins before an EcoVadis renewal: formalise existing practices, build a KPI dashboard, and publish a short annual report.

• ArticleHow do emission efforts contribute to your EcoVadis score? GHG baseline foundations

  Energy and GHGs is the criterion buyers scrutinise most: a quantified Scope 1 and 2 baseline is the minimum foundation to have.

• QuestionHow does EcoVadis evaluate science-based climate targets not formally validated by SBTi?

  The Carbon section covers targets and SBTi status and produces a separate Carbon scorecard, without contributing to the overall score for now.

• QuestionHow should companies approach carbon target setting, especially SBTi commitments?

  Science-based targets signal ambition and integrity: the priority is a credible baseline before progressively ambitious commitments.

• ArticleSustainable procurement for mid-market companies: where to start

  Map the supplier base, run a baseline assessment, then build three policy documents: a realistic start on sustainable procurement.

• ArticleWhat are the recent EcoVadis methodology changes? Q2 2026 updates

  Four EcoVadis methodology updates in Q2 2026: Scope 2 method must be specified, Select Check Up discontinued, new Improvement Areas added.

• ArticleWhat did EcoVadis Sustain 2026 teach us? Field notes from the conference

  Field notes from EcoVadis Sustain 2026: the four pillars of sustained advantage and the forces redefining operating models.

• QuestionWhat is the best way to document and present a significant CO₂ emissions reduction?

  Use the reduction in three places: a quantified KPI under Reporting, an action document under Measures, and consistency between the two.

• QuestionWhat methodology should be used for a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) submission?

  EcoVadis accepts product footprints calculated per ISO 14067 or the GHG Protocol Product Standard; sector methodologies also qualify.

• QuestionWhat practical steps can cultivate employee engagement in emissions monitoring?

  Embed carbon goals in strategy, assign accountability, set up task forces, and start measuring Scopes 1 and 2 step by step.

• QuestionWhat role do risk assessments and monitoring systems play in climate resilience?

  Integrate climate risk analysis and emissions data into an iterative monitoring system, guided by your sector's own protocols.

• QuestionWhich is more valuable: SBTi or UN Global Compact membership?

  SBTi is the stronger signal for the Environment theme; the UN Global Compact covers more ground but weighs less on any single theme.

• QuestionWhy is Scope 3 supplier emission reporting necessary despite perceived double counting?

  Scope 3 assigns supply-chain emissions to buyers because procurement decisions drive them: counted at several tiers, it forces collective action.
