    What Is a Good EcoVadis Score?

    On the EcoVadis scale of 0 to 100, a score of 45 or more is rated Good and earns the Committed badge. Medals are separate: they go to the top 35% of companies rated in the previous 12 months, with no published cut-off. A good score is the one your customers ask for.

    The five score bands

    EcoVadis places every overall score in one of five bands.

    Medals are ranked, not scored

    Medals depend on where you rank against every company EcoVadis rated in the last year. By design, about 65% of rated companies earn no medal. Any theme scored below 30 rules you out of a medal entirely, however strong the rest of your scorecard.

    Badges for scores below a medal

    Two badges recognise progress short of a medal. Committed goes to any company scoring 45 or more. Fast Mover goes to companies scoring 34 to 44 that improved by at least 6 points within 18 months. Both are useful in tenders where the buyer wants evidence of commitment rather than a specific medal.

    What your customers expect

    Buyer requirements vary. Some only want to see that you are rated. Many ask for a minimum score or a medal, and some large buyers set Silver or Gold as the bar for strategic suppliers. Ask the customer who requested your rating what they need before deciding how far to push.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the average EcoVadis score?

    EcoVadis does not publish a fixed average in its medal rules. What matters more is your percentile, since medals go to the top 35%.

    Is 50 a good EcoVadis score?

    50 sits in the Good band and earns the Committed badge. Whether it wins a medal depends on how other companies scored in the same period.

    What score do I need for a Bronze medal?

    There is no fixed score. Bronze goes to the top 35% of companies rated in the previous 12 months, with every theme at 30 or above.

    What is the minimum score for any medal?

    Each of the four themes must score at least 30. Beyond that, medals are awarded by percentile.

    Can my medal change if my score stays the same?

    Yes. If other companies improve faster, your percentile falls and so can your medal.

    What is the Committed badge?

    A badge for any company scoring 45 or more, whether or not it earns a medal.

    How do I find out what score my customer needs?

    Ask the buyer who invited you. Requirements are set by each customer, not by EcoVadis.

    How can I raise my score quickly?

    Fix documentation first: dated, signed, company-specific policies, measured KPIs and a supplier code of conduct. Ella drafts these and collects the evidence for you.
