EcoVadis Procurement Integration: Sustainability Ratings Next to Supplier Risk

Sustainability ratings are only useful when they sit next to the rest of a supplier's record. This page covers how EcoVadis ratings can appear in a procurement platform, and what to confirm about access.

Does Procurement VMS integrate with EcoVadis?

Short answer

What is available depends on your EcoVadis plan.confirm

Sustainability ratings live in their own portal. By the time a sourcing decision is made, nobody has looked at them.

With ratings on the supplier record, they are visible when a supplier is onboarded, compared or renewed.
