How do you use the EcoVadis platform?

12 entries.

• QuestionCan you preview the EcoVadis questionnaire before purchasing an assessment?

  No: there is no full preview of the tailored questionnaire before payment. EcoVadis publishes a four-theme overview and a Document Guide.

• QuestionDuring a reassessment, are previously rejected or unanswered questions flagged automatically?

  No: rejected documents are not flagged in the questionnaire. Two tools fill the gap: the Corrective Action Plan and the Analysis of Your Answers.

• QuestionHow can we manage varied sustainability questionnaires from customers when already rated by EcoVadis?

  Point customers to your EcoVadis scorecard instead of answering their own questionnaires: one single source of supplier sustainability data.

• ArticleHow do you read, share and maximise your EcoVadis rating?

  Overall score, percentile, medal and a P-A-R breakdown per theme: how to read your EcoVadis scorecard, share it and turn it into a plan.

• QuestionHow does the 55-document limit work — and should we combine documents into one?

  The 55-document limit applies per assessment cycle, not cumulatively: documents already submitted can be reattached without using the new quota.

• ArticleHow does the EcoVadis scorecard work?

  The EcoVadis scorecard crosses four themes with seven criteria, scored in five bands, activating only the criteria relevant to your company.

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

  No: scorecards are not public by default and are visible only to the buyers you actively choose to share them with.

• QuestionIs the reassessment anniversary date the deadline to submit, or only to start?

  Neither: it is the date your current medal ceases to be valid. To avoid any gap, submit one to two months before the anniversary.

• QuestionOnce the assessment is purchased, is there a deadline to submit the questionnaire?

  Yes: about 6 weeks initially, self-extendable up to 60 business days in total; beyond that a repurchase may be needed to reopen it.

• QuestionShould automatically rejected documents be deleted or kept?

  Keep them: rejected documents do not count against the submission, and the rejection reason stays visible in the Score Details.

• QuestionThe Corrective Action Plan is visible to buyers — how should we manage that?

  The Corrective Action Plan is part of the scorecard and cannot be hidden: present it as your live improvement agenda instead.

• 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.
