Sustainability Rating: What is it?
A sustainability rating assesses a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance based on objective criteria. It provides a transparent and comparable evaluation of sustainability practices across the entire value chain. Companies use these ratings to improve their sustainability performance, meet regulatory requirements, and enhance their competitiveness. Terra Institute is an official training partner of EcoVadis and supports companies in understanding the methodology and scorecard, as well as in the structured and strategic implementation of corrective actions.
EcoVadis: A Brief Introduction
EcoVadis is one of the world’s leading platforms for sustainability ratings, assessing companies across four key areas::
-
Environment (e.g., emissions reduction, resource conservation)
-
Labor and Human Rights (e.g., fair working conditions, occupational safety)
-
Ethics (e.g., anti-corruption measures, fair business practices)
-
Sustainable Procurement (e.g., supply chain responsibility, transparency)
The evaluation is based on international standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the UN Global Compact, and ISO 26000. Companies receive a score from 0 to 100, and may also be awarded a medal (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum) based on their sustainability performance.
