See how we can help
EcoVadis is a sustainability assessment platform used by organisations to evaluate the sustainability performance of their suppliers.
Instead of sending every supplier a different questionnaire or carrying out individual audits, many organisations use EcoVadis to assess areas such as environmental management, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement using a consistent framework.
If one of your customers has asked you to complete an EcoVadis assessment, they're looking for a clear and reliable way to understand how sustainability is managed within your business.
Although every EcoVadis assessment is tailored to your organisation, the process broadly follows the same six stages:
Every EcoVadis assessment is different, but the questions are only one part of the process. Knowing what evidence to prepare, how to present it and where to focus your effort can make all the difference. That's where GB Sustainability can help.
Whether you're completing EcoVadis for the first time or looking to improve an existing score, GB Sustainability provides practical, hands-on support to help you complete the assessment efficiently.
If you're still deciding where to begin, our Sustainability Scorecard can help you understand your current position and identify the areas that may need the most attention.
From there, we'll help you understand what's expected, prepare the right evidence and focus your effort where it will make the biggest difference.

EcoVadis assesses businesses across four key areas of sustainability. The questions and evidence requested will vary depending on your industry, size and location, but every assessment is built around these four themes:
How your business manages its environmental impacts, such as energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, waste, water, and biodiversity.
How you support your employees and protect human rights in areas including working conditions, health and safety, diversity, equality, and inclusion.
How your business promotes responsible behaviour through policies and practices covering issues such as anti-corruption, bribery, data protection, and responsible business conduct.
How sustainability is embedded within your supply chain through supplier selection, engagement, and the management of environmental, social and ethical risks.
Our role is to help you understand how these themes apply to your business and present clear, credible evidence to support your assessment.
Choosing the right sustainability partner is about more than technical expertise. It's about finding someone who understands your business, listens to your objectives and provides practical advice that works in the real world.
We focus on making sustainability simpler, more practical and more commercially relevant for small and medium-sized businesses. Rather than overwhelming you with jargon or generic frameworks, we help you identify the actions that will create the greatest value for your organisation.
When you work with us, you can expect:
Clear advice focused on action rather than unnecessary complexity.
Recommendations that support your wider business objectives.
Objective guidance tailored to your organisation.
Working alongside your team to build capability and confidence.
Helping your strategy evolve as your business grows.
Our goal isn't simply to help you complete an assessment. It's to help you strengthen the sustainability policies, evidence and management practices behind it, so your business is better prepared for EcoVadis and future customer requirements.

Supporting a successful first EcoVadis assessment.
Collected Group was preparing for its first EcoVadis assessment and wanted to establish the right sustainability foundations before submitting. Like many organisations completing EcoVadis for the first time, they needed support bringing together policies, evidence and sustainability data into a coherent approach.
We worked alongside the team to prepare for their first submission by supporting several key areas:
Rather than simply completing individual tasks, the aim was to build a sustainability programme that would continue to support future EcoVadis assessments and wider business objectives.
Collected Group successfully completed their first EcoVadis assessment and was awarded a Bronze EcoVadis Medal.
The work also provided the organisation with stronger sustainability governance, documented policies and a carbon footprint that could support future reporting and continuous improvement.
