Independent EcoVadis Consulting & Support
I help companies work through an active EcoVadis assessment, review a submission before it is finalised, and understand what to address after a scorecard has been published.

Where does your assessment stand?

Scorecard received
Understand the result and decide what should be addressed before the next assessment.
EcoVadis Services
The type of help you need depends largely on how far the assessment has progressed. These three services cover the main points at which companies usually need outside support.
Your questionnaire has just opened, or you are still early in the assessment, and there is substantial work to organise and complete.
Over eight weeks, I work with the internal coordinator to map the assessment, set the order of work, identify the colleagues and evidence needed, review priority documents and help with questions as the assessment progresses.
Best fit: first assessments and early-stage reassessments
Duration: 8 weeks
Fee: €6,500 ex VAT
Your questionnaire is substantially complete and the evidence you intend to submit has largely been assembled.
I review the submission at portfolio level, investigate the evidence that carries the most risk or uncertainty and set out the issues worth addressing before submission, the points that need checking and the areas that can reasonably be left for later.
Best fit: first assessments and reassessments approaching submission
Turnaround: approximately 10 working days
Fee: €3,950 ex VAT
Your scorecard has been published and you need to understand the result before deciding what to work on next.
I review the scorecard alongside the available assessment context and selected evidence. The analysis separates likely submission or evidence problems from wider management-system gaps and sets out what should be addressed first, what can wait and what will require longer-term work.
Best fit: companies with a current EcoVadis scorecard
Turnaround: approximately 10 working days
Fee: €3,250 ex VAT
Reassessments use the same three routes. If the new questionnaire has just opened, or there is still substantial work to organise, see EcoVadis Assessment Support. If the questionnaire and intended evidence are largely complete, see the Submission Readiness Review. If you are still deciding what to improve after the previous result, start with the Scorecard Review.
About the Work
I first worked with EcoVadis from inside a company, where I was responsible for helping to coordinate the assessment across different functions. That meant gathering evidence, checking what already existed, working through gaps and deciding how to present the company’s management practices clearly.
Over successive assessments, my former company progressed from Silver to Gold to Platinum. That experience taught me that much of the difficulty sits behind the questionnaire: different document owners, inconsistent evidence, incomplete management practices and limited time to bring everything together.
The score is the visible output. The useful work is building and demonstrating what sits underneath it.
I now combine that experience with around 15 years in sustainability and my work as an EcoVadis Solutions Practitioner to help other companies organise assessments, review evidence and decide what to address before and after submission.
Policy Templates
If your immediate task is to create or improve company policies, the EcoVadis Policy Template Kit provides editable templates and guidance you can use internally.
Common Questions
The questions below explain where each service fits and what remains with your internal team.
The type of support depends on how far the EcoVadis assessment has progressed. It can include assessment planning and prioritisation, organising stakeholder and evidence work, reviewing a substantially completed submission, or analysing a published scorecard and setting improvement priorities.
Double Your Sustainability works alongside the internal coordinator. The company remains responsible for its underlying policies, actions, data and final submission.
Yes. The services are organised around the stage of the assessment rather than whether it is a first assessment or reassessment.
EcoVadis Assessment Support can be used when the questionnaire has just opened or the company is still early in the assessment and substantial work remains.
Submission Readiness Review is for assessments that are largely complete.
Scorecard Review is for companies deciding what to address after a result has been published.
Assessment Support is for an active assessment that still needs to be organised and worked through.
Submission Readiness Review is for a substantially completed questionnaire and evidence portfolio that need an expert check before submission.
Scorecard Review is for a published result that needs to be understood before improvement work is prioritised.
No. Double Your Sustainability is independent of EcoVadis.
Rutger is an EcoVadis Solutions Practitioner, but EcoVadis remains solely responsible for its assessment, evidence evaluation and scoring decisions.
The standard services are designed to support the internal assessment coordinator rather than take over the company’s role.
Double Your Sustainability provides analysis, prioritisation, evidence review and practical guidance. The company remains responsible for providing accurate information, coordinating internal stakeholders, implementing changes and approving and submitting the assessment.
Tell me where your EcoVadis assessment stands and what you need help with. I will use the information to check which service is the best fit and whether this level of support is appropriate.
Double Your Sustainability is independent of EcoVadis. I can help you prepare, review and improve your EcoVadis work, but EcoVadis remains responsible for its assessment and scoring decisions.
