EcoVadis is now a condition of contract for over 49,000 companies globally. We help UK SMEs prepare, submit, and improve their scores — protecting existing revenue and opening new supply chain doors.
Talk to us about EcoVadis →Why It Matters Now
Major buyers — Unilever, Schneider Electric, Nestlé, L'Oréal and 1,400 others — use EcoVadis to assess suppliers. A low score or a missed submission puts existing contracts at risk and blocks access to new ones. HSBC UK now links EcoVadis scores to lending rates. The pressure on supply chains is only moving in one direction.

Reassessment — it never stops
Common Pitfalls
EcoVadis expects documented policies. Many SMEs do the right things but have never written them down.
The Environment theme requires a carbon footprint. Without measured data, your score stays low regardless of actual performance.
200+ questions with specific evidence requirements. Most first-timers under-score because they don't know how to present what they already do.
EcoVadis is not a one-off exercise. Reassessment every 12 months means the work never fully stops — unless you have a system.
How We Work
We review your current position against all four EcoVadis themes — Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement — and identify exactly where your score is being lost.
We write the missing policies, calculate your carbon footprint for the Environment theme, and compile the documentary evidence EcoVadis analysts need to score each section accurately.
We guide you through the questionnaire, ensuring every answer is structured to maximise credit and every document is uploaded correctly before submission.
Once rated, we build a 12-month action plan to close remaining gaps and improve your score at the next reassessment — keeping you ahead of your competitors in your customers' supplier rankings.
Service Packages
All packages are fixed fee. You know the cost upfront. Timelines are typically 4–8 weeks from kickoff to submission.
