Welcome to Nexio Projects.
In this video, we explain how the EcoVadis scoring system works in 2025, a vital tool for companies driving sustainability in their supply chains.
As you may know, EcoVadis evaluates sustainability management systems across four key pillars:
Environment
Labour and human rights
Business ethics
Sustainable procurement
It goes far beyond simply assessing results by reviewing policies, actions, certifications, reporting, and even a company’s external reputation.
The scoring framework is tailored according to each company’s industry, size, and risk profile, with criteria selected based on what is relevant to the organisation.
Scores range from 0 to 100 across the four pillars and are combined into an overall rating, with medals awarded to top performers.
In 2025, EcoVadis introduced several important changes.
First, scores for each pillar became more precise, moving from rounded scores to exact values. This enables more detailed insights into specific sustainability areas.
Second, medal awards shifted from absolute scoring to percentile rankings, making recognition more competitive.
Documentation requirements also became stricter, with greater emphasis on up-to-date and directly relevant evidence.
In addition, the AI-powered EcoVadis 360Β° Watch monitors external sources for risks and opportunities. Its findings can affect scores and medal eligibility.
Over the years, new criteria have also been introduced for circular economy practices and carbon management.
