Facing a stagnating EcoVadis score, a global manufacturing conglomerate risked losing €100M+ in B2B sales. We performed a forensic gap analysis of their disclosures against the EcoVadis methodology (and CSRD/TCFD criteria) and found key policy and data gaps.
Our team established a “single source of truth” for all non-financial data and standardized reporting protocols across environmental, labor, and ethics pillars. We also drafted and implemented missing corporate policies (e.g. Sustainable Procurement, Whistleblower Protection) to close compliance gaps quickly.
