Rated companies

By engaging in this journey, companies can build the capacity and management system they need to consistently improve their sustainability performance over time. We measure this improvement through EcoVadis Ratings, which assess the policies, actions and reporting mechanisms a company has in place across our core assessment themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. While score improvement is not a direct measure of impact, it does indicate the tangible progress a company is making on building governance around its material sustainability topics, implementing best practices and reporting to stakeholders on these efforts.

Improvement Magnitude = Number of reassessments * Average improvement for those reassessments (for example : if there was 100 reassessments in a month, and those 100 reassessments had an average of improvement of 1.1 point, the improvement magnitude would be : 100 * 1.1 = 110)

Improvement Magnitude trendline : Difference between the improvement magnitude of a month and its previous year (for example : if the improvement magnitude was 500 in January 2017 and the improvement magnitude was 300 in January 2016, then the Improvement Magnitude trendline for January 2017 would be : 500 - 300 = 200)

KPIs

For KPIs, XS sized companies are not included.

160 000 ratings 2016-2022 analysed on best practices 

Underpinning scoring improvement are the sustainability best practices companies implement to make progress on the “improvement areas” identified in their scorecards. When implemented and documented in a company’s subsequent assessment, these practices are highlighted as “strengths” and contribute to a higher score.

Tracking and collating these strengths across the 40,000+ scorecards generated in 2022 enables us to more tangibly quantify the sustainability progress being made by our network. While reporting on the entire spectrum of strengths included in the assessment methodology is beyond the scope of this report, we have analyzed how many companies adopted 14 key environmental and social best practices upon reassessment in 2022 compared to the two previous years : 2021 and 2022. 

It's cumulative data : per year, we count all companies with a best practice in place for the first time. 

Number of companies assessed at least for the second time with KPI

From all data on this section, we are now counting  ALL companies with the 14 KPIs in place, no matter the number of assessments, even if the best practice is place in first rating 

ALL companies assessed at least once between 2016 and 2022 with at least 1 Strengh activated in KPI
