What is Ecovadis?
EcoVadis is a global platform that assesses the sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) of companies. The platform helps organizations gain insight into the impact of their own business operations and those of their suppliers. This is done through a customized online questionnaire, where companies must strictly substantiate their answers with supporting documents and policy documents. EcoVadis analysts then evaluate this data across four core themes: environment, labor & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The result is an independent score between 0 and 100, with which companies can earn a bronze, silver, gold, or platinum medal. Large buyers use these scorecards to verify that their supply chain complies with strict legislation and sustainability requirements. For suppliers, it is a powerful tool to objectively demonstrate and purposefully improve their green performance.
The first step.
In 2025, Sola participated for the first time in the EcoVadis assessment, a globally recognized evaluation framework for sustainability and corporate social responsibility. This initial assessment marks an important milestone in our sustainability journey.
We are proud of this result. It shows that at Sola, sustainability is not just an abstract ambition, but is anchored in our policies, processes, and the way we collaborate with employees, customers, and suppliers. The assessment confirms that our performance in the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement stands on a solid foundation.
EcoVadis looks not only at intentions but specifically at concrete measures, implementation, and transparency. That is what makes this assessment valuable to us: it provides an objective and internationally comparable view of where we stand today.
What are the next steps?
At the same time, we explicitly see this initial assessment as a starting point. The results provide clear direction for further professionalization and help us prioritize subsequent steps. Based on this, we are working on a targeted improvement plan to further strengthen our policy, supply chain collaboration, and reporting.
Sustainability is an ongoing process for Sola. The EcoVadis assessment supports our ambition to continue building transparency, accountability, and a future-proof supply chain together with our partners.
