Case Study: How EA Transformed EcoVadis Submissions with AI Automation
Completing an EcoVadis sustainability assessment has traditionally been a long and resource-intensive process for large organisations. Sustainability, legal, and compliance teams are often required to synthesise vast amounts of data from annual reports, internal policies, and prior submissions—frequently spread across fragmented systems.
This case study highlights how one global law firm dramatically reduced the time and effort required to complete its EcoVadis assessment by adopting Easy Autofill.
The Challenge: Months of Manual ESG Reporting
Before implementing EA, the firm’s EcoVadis submission process took approximately four months to complete. Gathering evidence, aligning responses with evolving EcoVadis scoring criteria, and ensuring internal consistency created a significant administrative burden.
Much of the work involved manually searching through large document sets, cross-checking language between submissions, and coordinating reviews across multiple teams. This diverted subject-matter experts away from strategic sustainability initiatives and increased the risk of delays or inconsistencies.
The Solution: Automating EcoVadis with EA
By using EA to automate the EcoVadis process, the firm fundamentally changed how it approached sustainability assessments.
EA was able to instantly extract relevant information from the firm’s existing knowledge base and generate evidence-backed responses aligned to the EcoVadis requirements. Instead of manually compiling answers, the team shifted to reviewing and refining AI-generated drafts.
What had previously taken four months was reduced to just two weeks.
Results: Faster Completion and Improved Submission Quality
The benefits extended beyond speed alone:
- EcoVadis completion time reduced from months to weeks
- Improved overall EcoVadis score
- Consistent use of approved corporate language across disclosures
- Reduced risk of outdated or contradictory information
Other large organisations, including international beverage companies, reported similar gains. EA proved particularly effective at pulling relevant ESG information from lengthy annual reports and policy documents, summarising them in the organisation’s preferred wording.
From Manual Assessments to Scalable ESG Reporting
By centralising approved answers and supporting evidence in a single source of truth, EA enabled teams to respond not only to EcoVadis, but also to ad-hoc customer ESG requests with speed and confidence.
The platform’s ability to run gap analyses against frameworks such as EcoVadis and CSRD further reduced the need for constant manual oversight, helping organisations stay aligned with evolving sustainability standards.
