Almost everywhere outside Europe, companies in the high-medium risk range are at a 5-year low
Countries with 250+ ratings in 2023
EcoVadis rates companies on their policies, actions and reporting efforts across four core sustainability themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. It assigns themes and overall scores ranging from 0 to 100 points, each classified into a performance level.
In 2023, compared to 2019, fewer companies in the rated network outside Europe fell into the Insufficient/Partial performance ranges (scoring below 45 points overall), indicating significant sustainability risks and non-existent or ineffective systems in place to manage them. A tentative, exciting sign of progress.
Better still: While more companies than ever are joining the network, the proportion of first-time-rated companies in those select countries keeps coming down, meaning more companies are undergoing multiple ratings and improvement cycles. And the veterans are flourishing – it’s a global thing.
