ESG B Corp EcoVadis
The ESG package for SMEs supplying large accounts. EcoVadis, B Corp and ESRS-compatible reporting.
When an SME starts receiving ESG questionnaires from its large clients, an improvised Word document full of good intentions no longer cuts it. Three frameworks together cover 80% of what is typically required: EcoVadis, B Corp and ESRS (CSRD).
EcoVadis is the most widely used in industrial and retail supply chains: online questionnaire, scoring, tiered medal system. We prepare with a minimum target of Silver medal, achievable within 6 months.
B Corp is more demanding — an impact audit across 5 dimensions — but also more recognisable as an external label. ESRS is the technical language of the CSRD report, mandatory for large and listed companies, and voluntary for SME suppliers.
