EcoVadis

The EcoVadis integration enhances supplier profiles with environmental assessment data, enabling users to make informed, sustainable sourcing decisions. Users can import EcoVadis sustainability scores, track assessment statuses, and request new assessments directly from supplier profiles.

Data in scope

The integration is handled at the organizational level, giving procurement teams centralized control over supplier assessments. EcoVadis environmental scores and statuses can be easily imported into supplier profiles, improving decision-making with minimal effort. Users can initiate EcoVadis assessments directly from supplier profiles. 

Connecting the EcoVadis with Keelvar

The integration can be enabled in the Keelvar platform under Account Settings by entering the authentication key provided by EcoVadis

Setting your Integration IDs

Before importing scores, you must first populate the EcoVadis - Integration ID column. This is a required step to ensure that records in Keelvar can be accurately matched to profiles in EcoVadis.

How to Populate the Integration ID

Via the User Interface (UI):

  • Navigate to the relevant section within the UI
  • Manually enter the appropriate Integration IDs in the EcoVadis - Integration ID column

Via Bulk Upload:

  • Use the bulk upload flow on your supplier profiles
  • Ensure that the EcoVadis - Integration ID column is correctly populated during the upload process

For a detailed walkthrough on both methods, please refer to the Supplier Management article.

Integration IDs are essential as they allow us to match records in Keelvar with the corresponding profiles in EcoVadis.

Import of scores

You may import scores for any suppliers that have already undergone assessment. To do so, please populate the integration IDs in your profile by navigating to the integrations tab and initiating an import.

  • Update empty or expired: Retrieve data for newly added profiles or profiles that are currently expired
  • Update all: Update all profiles regardless of whether data is already present

Only profiles with integration IDs will be updated.

Users can initiate an assessment request on new vendors. 

From the Integration tab:

  1. Trigger a new assessment
  2. Submit the assessment
  3. Trigger a fresh import to retrieve the updated status information

Only profiles with integration IDs will be updated.

Important to know

  • Users must have a licence for EcoVadis. The integrations are configured by an Organization admin.
  • Separate configuration is required for score tracking and sending of assessments. The same API key can be used for both.
  • Configuring the sustainability ratings integration at Organization level will automatically add new fields to your profile.
  • It is necessary for users to manually enter the EcoVadis integration ID attribute within the supplier profile to enable the system to import scores and/or commence a new assessment.
  • There is no charge associated with each EcoVadis request. However, please be advised that EcoVadis rate limits will apply.
