From Bronze to Platinum: EcoVadis Handbook for Pharma, API & CDMO Companies
A free EcoVadis handbook for pharma, API and CDMO companies: how scores and medals work, and a clear path from Committed to Platinum.
Pharmaceutical buyers are raising the bar on supplier sustainability. AstraZeneca, for example, sets a minimum EcoVadis score of 45 for suppliers above USD 250k in annual spend. It also asks for an SBTi-validated climate target and detailed emissions data. Today, 29% of rated companies score 65 or more, up from 19% a year earlier, and only the top 35% can earn a medal.
This free handbook shows pharma, API and CDMO companies how to improve their EcoVadis score and reach their next medal.
What’s inside
How EcoVadis scoring works: the four themes (Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement), how each is scored through policies, actions and results, and why Sustainable Procurement is the weakest theme for most companies.
How medals are awarded: percentile ranking, the minimum of 30 in every theme, and why evidence decides your score.
Four upgrade paths: Committed to Bronze, Bronze to Silver, Silver to Gold, and Gold to Platinum. Each path covers what holds you back, what moves you up, and the pharma-specific evidence assessors look for.
Weak vs strong evidence: examples by theme of what earns points and what doesn’t.
A 12-month calendar and self-check: plan your improvements and start your reassessment on time.
Who it’s for: sustainability, EHS and procurement teams at pharmaceutical, API and CDMO manufacturers that hold an EcoVadis Committed badge, Bronze or Silver medal, or are preparing for their first rating.
