EcoVadis has published its 10th index – a periodic assessment of sustainability performance across its rated portfolio. The report confirms measurable progress on certain ESG metrics, but flags persistent blind spots in how organisations report and implement sustainability commitments.
The index matters because EcoVadis rates over 100,000 businesses globally and influences procurement decisions worth billions. When the firm itself identifies gaps, those gaps reflect real blind spots in corporate reporting standards.
The exact findings – which metrics improved, which stalled – require reading the full report, as the RSS headline alone signals the verdict without detail. But the framing is telling: real advances alongside many blind spots suggests the problem isn't measurement failure, but selective transparency. Companies improve what they're measured on; they ignore what isn't scrutinised.
This aligns with persistent criticism of ESG ratings themselves: misalignment between frameworks, divergent methodologies, and heavy weighting towards easily quantified metrics over systemic risk or true impact. A company can score well on carbon reporting (scope 1 + 2 disclosed, third-party verified) whilst scope 3 remains vague, labour practices in tier-2 suppliers stay opaque, and governance structures lack meaningful stakeholder representation.
The value of the EcoVadis Index isn't that it solved measurement. It's that a major rating house is publicly acknowledging the measurement system has real limits. The question now: are procurement teams and boards willing to act on those limits, or will ESG ratings continue to drive compliance theatre rather than material change?
