In two reports, Sustainability in Real Life includes:

• 
  Case studies from seven companies with details about success stories that fellow practitioners can replicate and learn from and
•

The guide is a collaboration amongst the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition® (EICC®), the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) and EcoVadis.

"Quantifying the benefits linked to Sustainable Procurement is often challenging but practices of leaders demonstrate that this is a key lever to widespread adoption."

For the 6th Edition of the Sustainable Procurement Barometer EcoVadis and HEC join forces with A.T. Kearney to examine the state-of-the-art of Sustainable Procurement and identify leaders' best practices on measuring and quantifying benefits.

EcoVadis releases an exclusive study, which assesses the CSR performance of more than 500 Global Compact participants.

The research is a first step towards an assessment of Global Compact participants’ performance on CSR issues. It aims is to stimulate further research, dialogue and innovation towards an effective implementation of the UNGC principles and goals. It is based on a sample of more than 3,500 companies and benchmarks the performance of more than 500 Global Compact participants from 2008 to 2011.

For the 5th edition, HEC and EcoVadis publish the Sustainable Procurement Barometer, which analyses practices of 90 major European companies.

"After 9 years of improvements, beyond tools and practices, a strong management drive is required to cross a new frontier."

What is the relationship between sustainability and value creation? The ability to express sustainability benefits in financial terms is one of the key drivers needed to instill sustainability into company business models.

Therefore PwC, Insead and EcoVadis have built this first quantitative model to link Sustainable Procurement practices and positive economical impact. 
The quantitative model was created by the analysis of the three main drivers and their respective impact on the company’s annual procurement spend, market cap and revenue. Their impact was then compared to the implementation cost of a Sustainable Procurement programme.

This study, published together with the ORSE organisation, analyses the external communication of 125 Asian, American and European companies from the Global 500. First of its kind, this study reveals the major trends regarding Sustainable Procurement reporting.

The 4th edition of the HEC Sustainable Procurement Benchmark is available. It analyzes the Sustainable Procurement vision and operational practices of 95 of the largest European companies.

In december 2007, HEC Business School, with the support of EcoVadis and Ariba, released the 3rd edition of their Sustainable Procurement Benchmark, analysing the environmental, social, ethical purchasing policies of 80 of the largest European companes.

The “Unchaining Value” report, released by Global Compact, UNEP and Sustainability in September 2008 contains a very interesting analysis of the value of Sustainable Supply Management, and case studies from leaders such as Unilever, Nokia, HP, Ikea. 
EcoVadis is featured in the report, as one of the “databases providing buyers with a one-stop tool for evaluating suppliers against a set of sustainability criteria”. 
The report is als available on the Global Compact website here.
