EcoVadis Pricing, Plans and Medals: Full ESG Guide 2026
EcoVadis is a sustainability evaluation platform that measures ESG performance through standardized assessments. Understanding its pricing, plans, and medal system is essential for organizations considering the platform. Many companies encounter EcoVadis when a client or supply chain partner requires an assessment as a condition for doing business.
Medal Tiers
EcoVadis awards four medal levels based on relative performance scores:
- Bronze: Entry-level recognition for sustainability efforts. Signals that basic ESG policies are in place.
- Silver: Above-average performance in ESG assessment. Often the minimum threshold requested by large procurement teams.
- Gold: Top 5-10% of evaluated companies globally. Demonstrates mature sustainability management systems.
- Platinum: Elite 1% of evaluated organizations worldwide. Requires exceptional performance across all four assessment themes.
Your medal level depends on your overall score, which is benchmarked against companies of similar size, industry, and geography. Scoring well requires documented policies, concrete actions, and measurable results across environment, labor practices, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

Preparation Strategy
Subscription costs are secondary to having centralized, consistent ESG data systems. Success requires understanding what EcoVadis measures, structuring information across environmental, social, ethical, and procurement dimensions, and collecting documented evidence before beginning the assessment process.
Organizations that already manage their sustainability data through a platform like Dcycle have a significant advantage. With automated data collection, you can quickly compile the evidence EcoVadis requires , from carbon footprint calculations to policy documentation. Companies reporting under CSRD or EINF will find that much of their existing data maps directly to EcoVadis assessment criteria.
