The first webinar in our EcoVadis series will cover the technicalities of the EcoVadis methodology. You’ll learn how your company is evaluated and discover how to make the most of the platform to drive your sustainability journey and improve your EcoVadis score.
Below you can find some of the questions addressed during the Q&A:
- The term ‘Internal Report’ is often given as satisfactory evidence. Our internal reports are usually Excel workbooks, which rarely have company branding, or other indicators that identify it as belonging to our company. WIll this be accepted as proof of reporting?
- Given that CDP submission is much later this year, we are not able to append our CDP submission as a supporting document. Would companies be penalized for not having the CDP support document when answering the related question on CDP disclosure?
- For questions where the answer is requested to be in a % format, are you able to provide supporting evidence that has all the data, in a clear and easily identifiable manner, then perform the final calculation in the document comments section?
- For material topics that are deprioritized for our industry, these questions still show up on our survey. Do these still impact our score (just less-so)?
- Does the weight of the different topics depend on the industry, on the over-all score? E.g. production company is weighted more heavily in environment, and consultancy firms are weighted more heavily in labour & human rights?
- Are there examples of industries that have no or a very limited number of questions regarding suppliers?
- What evidence would work for waste segregation if pictures were not acceptable?
- I want to ask about coverage in EcoVadis. Our company is a global company with Head office in Vietnam (About 33,000 employees), we also expand our sale/ consultant office in 30 countries in the world with more than 80 offices. How can we improve Coverage points in EcoVadis for Certifications sites? It would cost lots of money and effort to cover 100% of all sites and all offices.
- Given that CDP submission is much later this year, we are not able to append our CDP submission as a supporting document. Would companies be penalized for not having the CDP support document when answering the related question on CDP disclosure?
- Why are third party audits scored for only 2 years, even if there is a 3-year circle for those audits?
