In May 2026, Qovoltis received the EcoVadis rating for the first time. This recognition places us among the top 50% of companies evaluated worldwide, across all sectors.

This result is the product of an independent evaluation, based on documented evidence verified by analysts. It is not a self-certification, and that is precisely what gives it value. For us, this is a first step.

What exactly is EcoVadis?

EcoVadis is the benchmark platform for evaluating corporate social responsibility (CSR) worldwide. In short: it's the organization that large companies trust to determine if their partners and suppliers manage their operations responsibly. Over 150,000 companies evaluated in 180 countries, across 4 pillars: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, Sustainable Procurement.

What distinguishes EcoVadis from simple labels or self-declarations is the rigor of its verification: each questionnaire response must be accompanied by supporting documentation verified by specialized analysts. EcoVadis assigns a score from 0 to 100 points to each evaluated company: without supporting evidence, a declared commitment does not contribute to the score. The highest-rated companies receive a medal. The rating we received for this first assessment recognizes companies in the top half of all evaluated companies, meaning among the top 50% worldwide.

What Our Evaluation Confirmed

Our submission was thoroughly reviewed across the four pillars. Here's what the analysts recognized.

Pillar What EcoVadis recognized
Labor & Human Rights Flexible organization, employee satisfaction surveys, performance reviews, internal mobility, advanced policies on working conditions and anti-discrimination
Environment Energy and climate policy, carbon audit, Scope 1 and Scope 3 GHG reporting, services helping clients reduce their carbon footprint
Ethics Anti-corruption and anti-fraud policies, information security, conflict of interest management, anti-money laundering prevention
Sustainable Procurement Advanced procurement policy covering social and environmental factors, defined quantitative targets, review mechanism in place

Did you know? EcoVadis integrates a "360° Watch" that continuously analyzes thousands of public sources to detect potential incidents or controversies. Across all pillars, no negative elements were identified regarding Qovoltis. This signals consistency between our stated commitments and our daily operations.

What does this actually change?

An EcoVadis score is a third-party documentary audit, conducted with a transparent, sector-specific, and annually renewed methodology. Our score is verifiable, shareable, and valid until May 2027.

For establishments, businesses, and hotels that entrust us with their charging infrastructure, this label provides an additional guarantee: Qovoltis manages its operations responsibly with regard to the environment, its employees, its partners, and regulations. It's no longer just our word; it's an independent verification. This label also sends a signal to our entire ecosystem: we expect the same level of rigor from ourselves as we apply to our projects. CSR doesn't stop at the installed charging station. For large groups subject to the directive "Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive” (CSRD) or non-financial reporting obligations, collaborating with an EcoVadis-rated operator directly contributes to their own responsible procurement initiatives.

An approach embedded in our DNA

Qovoltis was built around a conviction: electric mobility is a real driver of decarbonization, and we have a role to play in making it accessible and reliable. Every charging station installed, every facilitated charging session, contributes to reducing emissions in the transport sector. In 2025, this sector represents 34% of French greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest emitting sector in France. Our greenhouse gas emissions reporting, conducted in accordance with the ADEME methodology, is among the elements submitted for evaluation.

This label confirms that this commitment extends beyond our commercial offering. It permeates how we recruit, work with our suppliers, care for our teams, and manage our daily operations. This is just a first step. We will continue to progress, year after year, with evidence.

Key takeaways

Achieving the EcoVadis label on the first assessment confirms that our CSR commitment is based on real practices, verified by an independent third party. This label places us among the top 50% of companies evaluated worldwide. But for us, it is above all a first step: the assessment is renewed annually, and we intend to make further progress.
