What do you like best about EcoVadis?

There was NOTHING that we liked about Ecovadis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EcoVadis?

Forms were not tailored to our company; Overcharged for service; when the company that required the service was sold and we no longer needed Ecovadis; we sent them a message on the day of our renewal and was told that we were required to cancel BEFORE renewal date. They threatened to send our invoice to collections if we did not pay the annual subscription for a service that we did not request or want. They are just in it for the money. Not to help customers.

Response from Clara Carriere of EcoVadis

We are sorry to hear of your experience with our service.

EcoVadis uses the United Nations industry classification system ISIC (International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities) to classify the productive economic activities of our rated companies. The questionnaire you received is tailored to the industry (ISIC) to which your company belongs. EcoVadis defines your company’s industry or verifies the industry provided by you during the registration process as outlined in detail here: support.ecovadis.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407513753618-How-is-my-company-s-industry-ISIC-defined-and-what-do-I-do-if-I-want-to-change-it#01HV2BW50T681QCHSNCT58A2JE

The options available in this questionnaire are mere recommendations of the best practices to address the material sustainability issues in your industry.

We would like to re-address that none of the topics on the questionnaire are mandatory, meaning you can just choose the topics relevant to your operations, and not declaring something for every question will not necessarily prevent you from reaching a certain score level.

Regarding billing, we encourage you to contact the Help Center: getsupport.ecovadis.com

"Evaluations contribute directly to our Sustainability continuous improvement initiatives"
4.5/5
What do you like best about EcoVadis?

The bar is always raised higher each year so we may progress together. The pre-filled questions from previous years and document management is very helpful to help renew each year. The explanations above each question provide insights that can even give ideas to changes and improvements in our corporate citizenship projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EcoVadis?

I don't appreciate some items that for me don't reflect actual committment but more reflect monetary funds. Like the importance of having had signed a given charter that requires payment. This could allow some companies to not have an authentic dedication to the subject but just throw some money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can reuse documents for several questions. It is good that we can use our language and not only English, especially when we don't have many documents in English. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EcoVadis?

Sometimes the guidance explanations on how to answer or what kind of information is needed can be poor. So, a few improvements to the guidance would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automatic renewed without my subscription."
0/5
What do you like best about EcoVadis?

It felt like a scam corporation use to get some type of green status from suppliers to work with. The questionaires did not make any sense for solo entepreneurs like me and it felt like I got forced in something that did not make any sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EcoVadis?

They automatically renewed a subscription I did not consent to. The accountmanager did know I only needed it to send my last invoice to a customer (their new procurement policy) and still they put me on automatic renewal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
