EcoVadis Assessment Preparation for Supplier Scorecards
Financely provides fixed-fee EcoVadis assessment preparation for mid-market suppliers whose customers have asked for an EcoVadis rating. The work is documentation and evidence support, completed before the buyer's deadline: a theme gap list, core policy drafts, an evidence map for portal uploads, questionnaire review notes and a 12-month improvement plan.
The full first-assessment package is USD 2,900. A gap scan only is USD 1,490. Deliverables and turnaround are guaranteed inside the agreed scope. The fixed fee has no hourly add-ons inside that scope.
Financely is a consultant that prepares the client's EcoVadis file. It is not a lender and not a scoring body. The work is EcoVadis consulting in the documentation sense: EcoVadis assessment help with policies, an evidence map and questionnaire review, at a published fixed fee, so the cost of this EcoVadis consultant support is clear before work starts.
No EcoVadis score or medal is guaranteed. EcoVadis scores independently, and Financely is not affiliated with EcoVadis. EcoVadis subscription and assessment fees are paid separately to EcoVadis. Financely prepares the file. It does not submit the questionnaire or evidence as you.
Who this is for
This page is for suppliers that have been invited or required by a customer to complete an EcoVadis assessment, usually for a tender, vendor onboarding or a supplier sustainability programme that uses EcoVadis scorecards. Typical owners inside the company are a sustainability or ESG lead, a quality manager, a procurement lead or a COO.
The service fits companies that already treat people and the environment with care in practice, but have incomplete policies, evidence uploads or questionnaire answers, and a deadline to meet. It is also used by teams that have never filed an EcoVadis assessment and need a complete first file.
It is not a certification, an audit or an EcoVadis partnership. If you need Financely only to review where the file is thin, choose the gap scan. If you need policies drafted, an evidence map and a pre-submission questionnaire review, choose full preparation.
How an EcoVadis assessment works
EcoVadis publishes a Sustainability Rating that covers four themes: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Those themes encompass 21 criteria. The official description is in EcoVadis's Sustainability Rating methodology disclosure.
On its suppliers page, EcoVadis states that the questionnaire is tailored to your industry, size and country, that submitted documents are verified, and that the scorecard reports performance in the four themes.
Rated companies complete the questionnaire on the EcoVadis platform and upload management system documents, such as policies, procedures, reports and certificates, to support their declarations. EcoVadis's methodology states that only questionnaire declarations supported by document evidence can be credited, and that a lack of formalized evidence is treated as an absence of management approach. Documents also have to be correctly linked to the relevant questionnaire declarations.
According to the same methodology disclosure, EcoVadis ratings have a set validity period of 12 months from the date of publication. Financely does not issue the scorecard, set the score or award a medal.
