How to Register Your Company on EcoVadis (Step-by-Step Guide)
Learn how to register your company on EcoVadis with this step-by-step guide. A complete walkthrough for suppliers and businesses in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, US, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand and globally.
Introduction: Why This Guide Matters
EcoVadis is one of the world’s most recognized sustainability rating platforms, used by global buyers and multinational corporations to assess supplier ESG performance. Companies across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands are increasingly required to complete EcoVadis assessments as part of supply chain due diligence.
If your customer has requested an EcoVadis assessment — or if you want to strengthen your sustainability credentials — the first step is registration.
In this guide, we walk you through the exact EcoVadis company registration process, based on the actual platform screens, so you can complete the setup confidently and correctly.
Step 1: Access the EcoVadis Registration Page
Begin by visiting the official EcoVadis registration link.
On the registration page, you will see a simple contact form requesting:
-
First Name
-
Last Name
-
Business Email Address
-
Phone Number
-
Company Name
After completing the required fields, click “Register.”
Best Practice: Always use a company domain email (e.g., name@company.com). Personal email addresses may delay verification.
Step 2: Email Confirmation
After clicking “Register,” a confirmation message appears instructing you to check your email.
EcoVadis sends a verification email to the business email address you provided.
Open the email and click the activation link to proceed.
Step 3: Create Your EcoVadis Password
Once you click the email link, you will be redirected to a secure page where you must:
- Create a password
- Confirm the password
- After setting your password, your account is activated.
You can now log in to the EcoVadis platform using your email and newly created password.
Step 4: Welcome to the EcoVadis Platform
After logging in, you will see a welcome screen displaying your name.
Click “Let’s Get Started” to begin completing your company profile.
This is where the formal registration process begins.
Step 5: Access the Dashboard – Complete Company Profile
You will now see the EcoVadis dashboard.
Locate and click:
“Complete Company Profile”
This section is mandatory before the questionnaire is generated.
Step 6: Enter Company Name and Website
The first section of the profile requires:
- Legal Company Name
- Company Website URL
Ensure the information matches your official registration documents and website records.
Accuracy here is important because this data is linked to your final EcoVadis assessment.
Click Next to proceed.
Step 7: Define the Scope of the Assessment
The first section of the profile requires:
- Legal Company Name
- Company Website URL
Ensure the information matches your official registration documents and website records.
Accuracy here is important because this data is linked to your final EcoVadis assessment.
Click Next to proceed.
Step 8: Specify Business Location
You will be asked to confirm the location of your company.
Select the country where the assessed entity is located.
EcoVadis tailors questionnaires partially based on geography and regulatory context, so ensure this is accurate.
Click Next.
Step 9: Number of Employees
Next, select the number of employees working at the assessed company or site.
EcoVadis uses company size as a parameter to:
- Adjust questionnaire complexity
- Determine documentation expectations
Select the correct employee range and click Next.
Step 10: Select Your Industry (Critical Step)
This is one of the most important steps in the registration process.
You must select the industry that best matches your company’s business activities.
Many companies struggle at this stage because:
- Industry categories may not exactly match internal terminology
- Companies operate in multiple sectors
- The description may feel broad
Choosing the wrong industry can result in an irrelevant or overly complex questionnaire.
If you are unsure which industry best fits your company’s scope of activities, it is advisable to seek expert guidance.
At Planet First Consultants, we support companies globally — including in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, US, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and New Zealand — in selecting the most accurate EcoVadis classification.
Contact Us today. We are happy to guide you on this step without charge.
After selecting your industry, click Next.
Step 11: Review and Confirm Company Profile Summary
You will now see a Company Profile Summary page.
This page displays all previously entered information, including:
- Company name
- Website
- Scope
- Location
- Number of employees
- Industry
Carefully review all details.
If everything is correct, click Confirm.
Step 12: Registration Completed
Once confirmed, you will see a message stating:
- Your company profile has been successfully submitted
- Your EcoVadis questionnaire is being prepared
EcoVadis typically takes 2–3 business days to generate your tailored sustainability questionnaire.
There is nothing further to complete at this stage.
You will be notified once your questionnaire is available.
What Happens Next?
After registration:
- EcoVadis builds your customized ESG questionnaire
- You will receive access to upload supporting documentation
- The assessment process officially begins
Proper preparation before starting the questionnaire significantly improves your scoring potential.
