EcoVadis Empowers Procurement With ESG Supplier Ratings
Since its inception in 2007, EcoVadis has positioned itself as a globally trusted provider of sustainability ratings for businesses.
By 2025, they will have evaluated over 150,000 companies while integrating more than two million external data sources into their assessments.
Major corporations such as Nestlé, JPMorgan, and Johnson & Johnson utilise these ratings to gauge both their performance and that of their suppliers within the supply chain.
In the ninth edition of its Global Supply Chain Sustainability Risk & Performance Index, EcoVadis noted a remarkable increase in the frequency of sustainability ratings, which have surged by 167% in the past five years.
“In a noisy political environment, supply chain performance tells a clearer story,” says Sylvain Guyoton, Chief Rating Officer at EcoVadis.
“The Index takes that sentiment one step further, offering evidence that supply chain partners are following through.
“Companies that stay committed to business sustainability efforts are reaping the benefits – risk reduction, resilience, supply chain performance, cost savings and growth – and setting the pace for the rest of the market.”
EcoVadis is prominently featured as a headline sponsor at Sustainability LIVE: Climate Week NYC 2025, where it collaborates with Chief Sustainability Officers from leading global hubs to drive essential change.
