Why your EcoVadis assessment cannot be improvised
EcoVadis evaluates your company on the basis of documents you submit (policies, procedures, reporting, evidence of concrete actions). A poorly prepared questionnaire, outdated documents or irrelevant evidence can cost you several medal levels.
Here is what we consistently observe in companies that go through the assessment without support:
- Real CSR actions that are not documented: you do the right things, but you cannot prove them
- Existing documents that are no longer up to date: a 2020 policy holds little value in 2025
- A questionnaire filled in without strategy: quantity of documents at the expense of their relevance
- No long-term vision: a medal obtained once is not a medal renewed
Our role is to transform your actual CSR performance into evidence that EcoVadis analysts will accept, and to build a sustainable approach with you — not just a one-off score.
Our approach: beyond the questionnaire
- EcoVadis as a CSR structuring tool : we help you build a genuine CSR approach of which EcoVadis becomes the reflection.
- Involving your teams, not just your management : we set up a dedicated working group, mobilise your internal contributors and raise their awareness of the CSR issues relevant to your sector.
- Documenting every commitment in an acceptable format : we co-produce the policies, procedures and reporting expected by EcoVadis, in a format tailored to your size, your sector and your actual practices.

Frequently asked questions
What does Act For Now's EcoVadis accompaniment include exactly?
Our support covers the entire process: scoping, CSR gap analysis, co-drafting of documents, implementation of the tracking tool and questionnaire submission.
How long does an EcoVadis accompaniment take?
Duration varies depending on your current CSR maturity and the medal you are targeting. For a first assessment with no prior CSR approach, allow 3 to 6 months. For a reassessment with an existing document base, 4 to 8 weeks is generally sufficient. We establish a precise timeline from the initial scoping session.
Which medal can I realistically aim for?
EcoVadis medals are awarded based on percentile rank: Platinum represents the top 1%, Gold the top 5%, Silver the top 15%, and Bronze the top 35% of assessed companies. This depends on your current CSR maturity, your sector and your company size. We carry out a free gap analysis to estimate your starting position and the medal realistically within reach. 95% of our clients achieve a medal : bronze, silver, gold or platinum.
Can Act For Now support a EcoVadis reassessment?
Yes. We intervene for first-time assessments as well as to improve an existing score. We analyse your previous scorecard, identify the quickest scoring opportunities and co-build the action plan for your next submission. We also offer a free EcoVadis scorecard analysis.
What is the difference between an EcoVadis medal and an EcoVadis badge?
EcoVadis medals are awarded to the top 35% of assessed companies based on their percentile rank. Badges are awarded based on score thresholds: the Committed badge requires a minimum score of 45, while the Fast Mover badge recognises companies scoring between 34 and 44 that show a minimum 6-point improvement over an 18-month period.
