Not all information contributes equally to the score, and not every document is equally relevant to the assessment.

The goal was to establish a common understanding of the EcoVadis assessment\u2014from the methodology and documentation requirements to the questions that are particularly important for the evaluation. During the discussion, potential answers were evaluated together, and initial supporting documents were identified.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, DFGE developed a<strong> prioritized data management plan<\/strong> with detailed feedback on all questions in the questionnaire. The plan clearly outlined which documents could be attached as supporting evidence and which topics and documents should be prioritized. In addition, DFGE provided practical recommendations for completing the questionnaire.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Another key component was the consultation on <strong>industry classification<\/strong>. EcoVadis had initially classified Hammer in an industry that was not the best fit from a technical standpoint. Together, we examined which classification best reflected the company\u2019s operational activities. As a result, the classification was adjusted to a category that more accurately reflects Hammer\u2019s activities in transportation and warehouse logistics as a whole. This classification also improves the foundation for a coherent questionnaire and appropriate supporting documentation\u2014serving as a basis for further development in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>This provided Hammer with a structured foundation to independently and purposefully complete the remaining steps of the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-35116a43b463976b2\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-35116a43b463976b2 uvc-3541  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-35116a43b463976b2 h2'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h2 style=\"--font-weight:theme;\">Result<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-35116a43b463976b2 .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Successful Initial Assessment with Lasting Added Value<\/h3>\n<div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a43b4639771e\" data-id=\"6a43b4639771e\" data-height=\"20\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The result of Hammer\u2019s first participation was a strong start: <strong>79 out of 100 points<\/strong>, placing it among the <strong>top 6% of all assessed companies worldwide<\/strong>.
