EcoVadis support: complete the assessment and improve your score
EcoVadis is one of the most internationally recognized ESG ratings, often incorrectly referred to as “EcoVadis certification”. More and more companies are requiring it from their suppliers to assess the sustainability of their supply chains.
To obtain the rating, you must complete the EcoVadis questionnaire, a complex process that requires data, documents, and a correct interpretation of the evaluation criteria.
Your score determines which EcoVadis badge or medal you receive (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze), which has a direct impact on your competitiveness. Whether you’re taking the EcoVadis assessment for the first time or looking to improve your score, the result depends on:
- quality and completeness of the documentation
- consistency of responses with the EcoVadis methodology
- ability to properly assess ESG factors
Why is the EcoVadis rating becoming increasingly strategic for companies?
The EcoVadis rating is now one of the most widely used tools by large companies to evaluate their suppliers. Having a good EcoVadis score can make all the difference in terms of competitiveness. Here are the main benefits of EcoVadis:
Access to Supply Chains and New Opportunities
More and more large companies are requiring an EcoVadis rating to select and monitor suppliers. A good score makes it easier to enter and remain in the supply chain and, thanks to the EcoVadis network, increases visibility among buyers who use the platform to select reliable partners.
Credibility and ESG Positioning
The EcoVadis rating allows companies to objectively demonstrate their ESG performance using an internationally recognized standard. A high score (e.g., Silver, Gold, Platinum) strengthens a company’s reputation and improves its positioning relative to competitors.
Improved ESG and Risk Management
The EcoVadis process helps identify critical issues and areas for improvement, making sustainability management more structured. This makes it possible to prevent ESG risks, align with client requirements, and progressively integrate best practices into business processes.

How does our EcoVadis consulting work?
The ESG Rating EcoVadis is designed for all companies that wish to assess and improve their ESG performance. Furthermore, since it is an internationally recognized ESG rating, many large companies require their suppliers to obtain an EcoVadiscertification, in compliance with European regulations on supply chain sustainability (CSDDD).
Our EcoVadis consultants will guide you through a structured process designed for both those completing the EcoVadis questionnaire for the first time and those looking to improve their score.
1. Preliminary Analysis
Let’s analyze your starting point: if you already have an EcoVadis rating, we’ll review your score and scorecard; if you’re starting from scratch, we’ll assess your company’s ESG maturity level.
We’ll identify the areas with the greatest impact on your rating and define the priorities for action.
2. Data and Evidence Collection
We work with your team to define and implement the necessary actions to strengthen your ESG performance—such as developing or updating policies, procedures, monitoring systems, and KPIs.
It’s not just about gathering documents; it’s about building content and processes that meet EcoVadis requirements.
3. Completing the EcoVadis questionnaire
Once the actions have been implemented, we’ll help you gather and organize the supporting documentation and complete the EcoVadis questionnaire.
We ensure consistency between the activities carried out, the documentation, and the responses, in line with the evaluation criteria.
4. Obtaining the Rating and Continuous Improvement
At the end of the process, you will receive your EcoVadis assessment (scorecard and, if applicable, ratings). Our consultants can analyze the results to develop an improvement plan. In fact, the journey doesn’t end with the first rating: we work to progressively improve your score and achieve higher-level medals over time.
EcoVadis Certification: Does It Really Exist?
Many companies refer to “EcoVadis certification,” especially when asked about it by clients or partners. In reality, EcoVadis is an ESG rating that assigns a score and a medal (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), and it is incorrect to refer to it as “EcoVadis certification.”

Ollum is an EcoVadis Consulting Partner: it has in-depth knowledge of the assessment criteria and the technical aspects of the questionnaire, enabling companies to complete the assessment effectively, submit documents and data correctly, and improve their rating in a timely manner. But its approach goes beyond documentation. For companies that want to improve their rating over time, Ollum develops concrete improvement plans: We start with a strategy, implement the necessary actions—which may include calculating a carbon footprint, conducting a product LCA, or obtaining specific certifications—and then support the company through its next EcoVadis assessment.
Can Ollum really help you get a good EcoVadis rating, or does it just prepare the documentation?
Ollum is an EcoVadis Consulting Partner: it goes beyond mere documentation. It works on both effectively completing the questionnaire and developing plans to improve the rating over time. To improve the rating in a structured way, we start with a strategy, implement the necessary actions, and support the company through the subsequent assessment.

Ollum supports multi-year EcoVadis improvement programs. We develop a long-term strategy, implement priority actions, and guide the company through a process of gradual and measurable improvement. Where appropriate, Ollum offers multi-year contracts to ensure continuity in the process and maximize results over time.
Can Ollum help companies starting from a weak foundation achieve a good EcoVadis ESG rating?
Starting with a low score isn’t a problem: through a structured and methodical ESG approach, you can achieve great results.
As an official EcoVadis Consulting Partner, Ollum employs a structured methodology designed to support companies starting from a weak ESG foundation.
The typical path for those starting from a weak foundation
- Analysis of the current questionnaire or assessment: we identify exactly where points are being lost
- Prioritizing Areas for Action: Not Everything Has the Same Impact on the Rating — Let’s Start Where We Can Make the Most Progress
- Concrete Action Plan: Documented environmental policies, carbon footprint, ISO certifications, supplier management
- Gradual implementation with direct support: we don’t leave the client to face a long to-do list on their own
- Preparing the submission: reviewing the documentation before submission to minimize errors and omissions
With a well-structured plan, significant improvements are realistic as early as the first annual cycle.
What impact can a good EcoVadis score have on the decisions of major international clients when selecting Italian suppliers?
A good EcoVadis score is now a key selection criterion in international supply chains. Large corporations are paying increasing attention to the sustainability of their suppliers, both due to new European regulations on supply chain due diligence—such as the CSDDD—and because their business partners’ lack of ESG maturity can pose reputational, operational, and financial risks. In this context, Ollum supports companies in improving their EcoVadis rating and in building a credible, documented, and verifiable ESG profile for international clients, multinational groups, and supply chain stakeholders.
