Ecovadis CSR指数看到了劳动和人权的进展，但采购可持续性缩短了

Sustainable practices are slowly being embraced by companies around the globe, but performance has actually fallen in some key areas, according toEcoVadis’ newly released Global CSR Risk and Performance Index 2019.

人权和劳工权利活动中最大的增长记录在2017年绩效总成绩从45.4％上升至2018年的46.7％the reportfrom EcoVadis, a provider of ratings for CSR, sustainability risk and performance for companies that fuel global supply chains.

EcoVadis attributed much of the gain to increased awareness and scrutiny of modern slavery as well as diversity issues in the workplace, with many governments introducing legislation requiring enhanced due diligence and reporting on these issues in places like theUK,California,Australiaand the EU.

腐败，数据隐私和反竞争实践等道德问题的总数也增加，2016年的41.7％，2017年的42.1％至2018年的42.5％。Ecovadis在全球范围内看到了许多国家维持和加强反腐败法和认可corporate entities as liable for bribery charges, while the EU’s GDPR legislation is expected to spur continued global improvement and help keep data management concerns a top priority for corporate executives.

Scores remained flat in the aggregate environment assessment, from 45.6% in 2016 to 45.6% in 2018, and continued a downward trend in the “sustainable procurement” category, where scores fell from 38.6% in 2016 to 38.3% in 2017 and to 38.2% in 2018.

According to EcoVadis, the low scores in sustainable procurement assessment are the result of low visibility into a business’ supply chains beyond the first level. Businesses have almost no data on the suppliers of primary suppliers, creating supply vulnerability and making it nearly impossible to monitor environmental impacts. While supply chains may be fragmented among dozens or hundreds of suppliers and often tracing to unstable countries, the report emphasizes that half of all supply chain disruptions occur below the first level. Firms with no knowledge of these potential constraints can’t plan around them, so it’s more important than ever for businesses to offer incentives to suppliers to gather, organize and deliver more data.

Ecovadis指数涉及从2016年到2018年进行的超过50,000名评估，跨越九个行业，并跨地理区域标准化。评估主要由企业客户的要求，船上供应商，承包商，经销商和客户进入索引网络。小企业是员工不到1000人的人。

可持续性performance was strongest in Europe, where large businesses became the first group to score above 50%.

北美和拉丁美洲分别厘定了41.8％和41.4％，ecovadis注意到经济发展与可持续性绩效之间存在低关。

众所周知，除中国之外的小型企业，均为自2016年以来的得分下降。在中国，小企业降至37.3％，大型企业从2016年的31.5％增加到2018年的33.6％。

eCovadis在所有评估中都指出，与大型企业相比，小型企业在整体成绩方面略微好转。大型企业在环境和劳动和人权类别中占据了优势，潜在的基于规模经济和资源，以更严格地监测这些结果。

小企业在伦理和可持续采购类别中的大型企业表现优于较少繁琐的数据管理和来自较差的组织的供应链。中小型企业占Ecovadis评估的80％。

与上一年相比，欧洲大型和小企业的企业分别提高了62％和60％的业务。北美拥有最大的企业业务，没有改变他们的分数，占大型企业的28％，占小企业的19％。

这表明两者之间的区域经济领域之间，欧洲的人似乎改善了已经纳入其计划的CSR实践，并正在执行它们的过程中，而北美公司仍然很大程度上在CSR变化的规划阶段。在中国，只有47％的大型企业提高了指数评分，而40％的人数认为他们的得分减少，小企业减少了30％。

在全球的行业团体中，小企业在食品和饮料行业和繁重的制造中得分最高，可能是由于餐馆和特色制造设施体验等高管审查小型企业。

表演者较差的是建筑，运输和互联网连接技术行业，平均得分仅为40.3％。大型企业领导行业是先进的制造和繁重的制造。

The weakest performing industries were wholesale and professional services and transport, who traditionally have required less of a focus on monitoring supply chain inputs.
