EcoVadis teaches sustainability through its online platform
As the world’s most trusted provider of sustainability ratings, EcoVadis is keen to educate its customers to improve them and, in turn, their impacts on the environment. With its online eLearning platform, released in November 2021, the company will provide its clients with up to date guidance on how to maintain their ratings.
Using over 125,000 scorecards, previous data from each company and thousands of connections, EcoVadis’ platform, can be tailored to each client specifically to meet them at their current stage of the sustainability journey. The platform incorporates videos, case studies and other training tools to allow its customers to interact with the information better. Whether a company has a clear understanding of sustainability requirements or needs baseline training, the platform can be used accordingly.
‘Acquiring the right sustainability knowledge is an essential step for companies who want to improve practices, meet stakeholder expectations, build resilience, and thrive in the new normal. But finding high-quality training that is both adaptable to the maturity of a company’s business activity and compelling for teams is a challenge’, says Frédéric Trinel, Co-Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer of EcoVadis.
‘This is why we’ve launched EcoVadis Academy. It features a rich set of current, practical content that goes beyond theory with plenty of real-life examples and is presented in an accessible and engaging format that everyone will truly enjoy using’.
Continuous development improves business sustainability
Similar to any other training course, the EcoVadis Academy helps users to learn through teaching and testing their knowledge on the subject. The eLearning platform is well integrated with other solutions provided by the company, such as the Carbon Action Module, Metrics and the Corrective Action Plan. The platform provides 16 different courses, which have been translated into five common languages.
