Suppliers asked to complete EcoVadis
Organise policies, actions, metrics, and supporting documents before responding to an EcoVadis request.
ECOVADIS PREPARATION
The score comes from EcoVadis. The evidence comes from you.
EcoVadis scores companies against its own methodology using the evidence they submit. We help you build that evidence, across environment, labour, ethics, and procurement, before you submit it.
Who this service is for
Companies preparing a first assessment
Build an evidence-led assessment approach across environment, labour, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
Businesses responding to a prior scorecard
Use scorecard feedback to focus improvement work on documented gaps and material questions.
01
Why EcoVadis assessments matter to Indian suppliers
Multinational buyers increasingly require suppliers to hold an EcoVadis assessment, or reference EcoVadis scores directly in procurement decisions. For an Indian manufacturer supplying into European or global buyer networks, a low or missing score can affect qualification for tenders independent of price or quality.
02
How EcoVadis scoring works
EcoVadis assesses four themes, environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement, weighted by industry and company size, based entirely on documents and data the company uploads: policies, certifications, measurable outcomes, and supporting evidence. Companies with strong underlying practices but weak documentation often score lower than the reality of their operations, because EcoVadis scores what is evidenced, not what is asserted.
03
What we prepare
We review your current policies and practices against each of the four EcoVadis themes, identify documentation gaps, a missing environmental policy, an absent supplier code of conduct, insufficient measurable outcome data, and help you build or strengthen the evidence before you submit. Where the environment theme requires emissions or energy data, this connects directly to the GHG inventory work we do elsewhere.
We do not complete the EcoVadis questionnaire on your behalf as a substitute for your own disclosure, and we do not have any influence over the score EcoVadis assigns. Our work ends where EcoVadis's independent assessment begins.

How the engagement works
A practical, evidence-led process
- 01
Review the profile
Confirm assessment scope, industry, size, locations, deadline, and available scorecard.
- 02
Map evidence
Organise documents across environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
- 03
Close supportable gaps
Strengthen genuine policies, actions, and measurement without manufacturing evidence.
- 04
Prepare for assessment
Complete a final consistency and document-validity review; EcoVadis independently assigns the rating.
Prepare for what is next
Supplier ratings reward maintained evidence, not a one-time upload
Assessment preparation works best as an operating evidence system with owners and renewal dates. Buyers may use ratings differently, so no score or procurement outcome should be promised.

Questions businesses ask
Frequently asked questions
Does Prakrti issue EcoVadis ratings?
No. EcoVadis is an independent platform that scores companies based on submitted evidence. Prakrti helps a company prepare and strengthen that evidence across the four EcoVadis themes ahead of submission, but has no role in the scoring itself.
What are the four EcoVadis assessment themes?
Environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Each theme is weighted according to the company's industry, size, and location, and scored based on policies, actions, and measurable outcomes evidenced in the submission.
How long does EcoVadis preparation take?
It depends on how much documentation already exists. A company with established environmental and HR policies but no consolidated evidence file moves faster than one building policies from scratch; most gaps are found in measurable outcome data and supply chain documentation.
Can EcoVadis preparation improve an existing score?
Yes, for companies that have already been assessed, a review of the previous scorecard against the four themes typically identifies specific, addressable gaps ahead of the next assessment cycle.
Why do EU buyers ask for EcoVadis scores from Indian suppliers?
Many multinational buyers use EcoVadis as a standard, comparable way to assess supplier sustainability performance across a global supply base, and increasingly set minimum score thresholds as a qualification requirement independent of a supplier's home market.
