EcoVadis Network Impact Report 2023

This report explores how we are helping the 1,200 buyers in our network and 130,000 suppliers collectively drive sustainability improvement at scale and generate positive outcomes – or “impact” – for people and the planet.

It taps into data from the 47,000 sustainability performance scorecards published in 2023 alone to showcase what this improvement looks like in terms of tangible action on topics ranging from carbon to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The number of suppliers directly disclosing key metrics related to these efforts on the EcoVadis platform is also highlighted.

Our Model for Scaling Positive Impact

Our impact model consists of three key phases that, together, help companies drive positive change through their supply chains or improve their direct operations. It sets in motion the “cascading multiplier effect” that enables a single company to influence the sustainability approach and efforts of many companies throughout its supply base. Ultimately, this collaboration between the requesting and rated companies in our network yields positive outcomes for communities, economies and the planet.
