What is EcoVadis & The EcoVadis Portal

EcoVadis is a global sustainability rating platform that assesses companies’ performance in environmental, social, ethics, and sustainable procurement domains. The EcoVadis Portal is the online platform where companies register, answer assessment questionnaires, upload documents, view their scorecards, access improvement tools and manage their ESG rating profile.

The Portal allows you to track your progress, compare results with industry peers, see strengths and improvement areas, manage corrective action plans, and communicate your rating externally. It shows your score (0100), medal or badge (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) if eligible, and detailed breakdown by themes

Understanding EcoVadis Certification in Qatar & Scoring

Although EcoVadis does not issue “certification” in the same way as ISO, being EcoVadis Certified in Qatar or having a strong rating is treated by many procurement teams like a “certificate” of sustainability credibility. The EcoVadis assessment gives you a scorecard, plus, if you meet certain thresholds, a medal or badge.

Scoring happens across four main themes: Environment; Labor & Human Rights; Ethics; Sustainable Procurement. Within each theme there are management indicators (such as Policies, Actions, Results, Certs etc.). The rating is tailored to your company size, industry and location

To earn a medal, you must be in a high percentile among all companies globally over recent period. For example: Platinum = top 1%, Gold = top 5%, Silver = top 15%, Bronze = top 35% in many recent updates. Also no theme score can be below a minimum threshold.

EcoVadis Certificate in Qatar & Validity

When you complete the EcoVadis assessment, you receive a scorecard via the EcoVadis Portal. This scorecard acts as your EcoVadis Certificate in Qatar. It includes your rating score, medal or badge (if earned), themescores, strengths and improvement areas.

The validity of this certificate or scorecard is typically 12 months from its date of publication. After that, reassessment is needed. You maintain your ESG submission, update data, and resubmit to keep rating current.

If improvements are made (better documentation, policies, actions), your score may increase on reassessment. If not maintained, your rating may drop.
