In this episode, Eugeniusz Wyszyński, Senior Account Executive – Network Growth at EcoVadis will illustrate the main benefits your organisation can derive from completing an EcoVadis Assessment.
You’ll learn how EcoVadis can be beneficial in accelerating your ESG action plan and improving your stakeholder engagement, and much more!
Below you can find some of the questions addressed in the Q&A by our speakers Eugeniusz Wyszyński and Tobias Richter, Account Executive, Network Growth at EcoVadis.
- If a client asks me for EcoVadis assessment for a particular subsidiary, can I agree with my client to share a Group assessment instead? What are the benefits and obstacles?
- Is it acceptable to provide the first pages of policies as screenshots during the evaluation?
- Would it be acceptable by EcoVadis to have all documents/evidence grouped together? Like 1 file with all things related to General Environment / Labor & HR / Sustainable Procurement / Ethics?
- I want to dive a little deeper into laws and their documentation. For example: as a German company we are adhering to quite strict local working laws. How shall I provide documentation that we adhere to applicable laws?
- May I know how and who assesses/validates the supporting documents, as well as the assessment? What is the background of these people? Are they industry experts etc.?
- Is it still possible to access my EcoVadis Scorecard if my subscription has expired? Can it be resent to me if I lose my access?
- EcoVadis updated its methodology in January 2024, and we scored lower than the previous year. It appears that in some areas, we received a score of 0, even though we have documents and policies to provide. Can I request a reassessment, or do I need to wait a full year for a new assessment?
- ISO Certifications, is it ideal to create 1 file with all pertinent ISO’s the company has?
- As mentioned in the beginning, there are different themes (environmental, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement) weightings for different industries. How do I know what’s the weighting for my company? Is there a reference table available showing the relevant information?
- If a group company has several businesses, could we register as a group? and claim the rating for the group?
