What’s the difference between EcoVadis and B Corp?

EcoVadis is an assessment system, whereas B Corp is a certification. Both cover a wide range of ESG-topics, but their use differs: • EcoVadis: The most widely used rating system worldwide, particularly relevant in B2B supply chains (150,000+ assessed companies). • B Corp: A certification with a strong consumer profile (10,000+ certified companies), often used in B2C contexts. If you want to demonstrate your sustainability performance to customers or assess your suppliers objectively, EcoVadis is a great fit. If you’re focusing on the end consumer and want to show that your business model and organisation are sustainable, B Corp might be the best route. In that case, check out our B Corp page!

How we can help

An EcoVadis score in three steps

We conduct a thorough analysis of your current score or ongoing initiatives if you don’t have a score yet. This helps us identify your strengths and areas for improvement across all four EcoVadis pillars.

Based on the gap analysis, we create a concrete action plan for continuous improvement. We tailor the actions to your organisation’s needs and the importance of the EcoVadis pillars, which can vary by sector and company size.

We match the correct documentation to the relevant questions and substantiate the actions taken. For each question, we provide a clear explanation to increase the likelihood of acceptance by EcoVadis.

The answers to the most frequently asked questions

EcoVadis is the world’s most widely used sustainability assessment. For companies new to sustainability, it provides a clear starting point. For organisations that are further along in their sustainability journey, it offers an opportunity to demonstrate leadership – for example, by aiming for a platinum medal.

However, with 18 years of sustainability expertise and proven best practices from clients who have improved their scores, we know what works and can help you significantly enhance your performance.
