The bar rises every year
In September 2026, two assessments scoring 80/100 received Silver, whereas 78 was enough for Gold a year earlier.

EcoVadis rating
An EcoVadis score that does justice to your approach.
We know what each answer is worth and what each document must demonstrate. You gain points, your teams save time, and the work is reused at every assessment.
Your situation
Your score does not reflect your approach. We trace every lost point to an answer or a document, then map out the path to the next medal.

What we see in every file
EcoVadis does not assess your approach. It assesses what you can prove.
The methodology does not show where the points are
Without this insight, effort goes where it is visible rather than where it counts. For the same approach, two submissions can end up with very different scores.
A good document can be rejected
Across more than 50 assessments, rejected documents and poorly supported answers remain the leading cause of lost points.
What EcoVadis assesses
How an EcoVadis score is built
Three dimensions, scored on each of the four questionnaire themes. Choose one to see what we build.
What EcoVadis assesses
Your written commitments: policies, charters, targets, responsibilities. Each policy sets out actions and targets.
What we build
One policy per theme, aligned with EcoVadis expectations and true to both your practices and your vision.
Watch out
Scoring is graded on content: without quantified targets, explicit scope or governance, a policy's score is capped.
Three blocks to handle together: policies set out actions and targets, which tracked indicators then prove.
The rising bar
Same score, different medal
In 2023, 70/100 was enough for Gold. Since 2024, the medal depends on your rank among all companies assessed over the last twelve months. The overall level is rising, and the same score now earns a lower medal.
2023: fixed thresholds applicable to scorecards issued from 1 January 2023. Since January 2024: medal awarded by percentile, calculated across all companies assessed over the last twelve months, all sizes and sectors combined (Bronze top 35%, Silver top 15%, Gold top 5%, Platinum top 1%), with a minimum score of 30 on each theme. 2026 thresholds estimated by BeMaterial in September 2026, for guidance only.

The value we add
Do it alone, or with us
Doing it alone is possible. The question is how much time it takes, and what it delivers.
Scoring
Every lost point traced to an answer or a document, plus training so you can read the scoring grid yourself.
Evidence
Documents built on the EcoVadis grid, true to your practices, checked before upload.
Time
We draft, you approve: a workload estimated in advance, with no spikes for your teams.
The following year
Documents revised rather than rewritten, indicators updated in the same tool, answers carried over.
The heavy lifting is done once: less time each cycle, and a score that keeps improving.

Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us before starting
Allow about eight weeks from signature to a ready response matrix. The timeline is set around your submission date and can be shortened if the deadline is close.
Typically 20 to 30 hours, spread over the engagement, where an assessment handled alone often ties up one person full time for a month. We estimate it before we start, step by step: from a few hours for a diagnostic alone to around forty when your teams produce the documents themselves.
Yes. With assisted completion, you answer and we support you. With managed completion, we prepare each answer and you approve it. Either way, the file is reviewed with you before submission.
No: the score belongs to EcoVadis, and the thresholds rise every year. We commit to the method: every point at stake identified, every document brought up to the expected level, a review before submission. Today, 75% of our clients reach Gold or Platinum.
You know how to run the exercise: documents are revised rather than rewritten, indicators updated, answers carried over on MyEcovadis. We remain available to save you time, add efficiency and bring expertise that goes beyond the methodology.
The price depends on the size of your questionnaire and what you keep in house. We set it after an initial 30-minute call, together with an estimate of your teams' workload.
