The SAQ is a document- based assessment, where evidences for all questions are required. COINDU complies with and supports these automotive industry guidelines improving sustainability in our global operations, com- munities and value chain. • EcoVadis is another Sustainability Assessment platform adopted by some other customers. It evaluates sustainability practices, supply chain, business ethics and other aspects, assigning scores to companies based on their policies and practices. The EcoVadis rating is often used by companies to demonstrate their commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainability to their stakeholders. EcoVadis employs rigorous and well-developed scoring guide- lines applied to each assessment. The score allows companies to compare themselves to others in the industry, but also helps to situate the company’s overall sustainability performance in abso- lute terms. The score criteria cover environment (operations and products), labour & human rights (human resources and human rights), ethics and sustainable procurement. 109
