How Asana earned an improved EcoVadis score with Greenplaces

The challenge: demonstrating impact through fragmented reporting

When Asana set out to improve its EcoVadis performance, the company had already made meaningful progress on sustainability. But progress and proof are two different things. Asana's sustainability program lacked the quantifiable structure needed to translate that work into a higher EcoVadis score.

Fragmented documentation. Sustainability data and evidence were scattered across teams and systems: renewable energy reports, supplier diversity records, and policy documents that weren't organized against EcoVadis' categories.

No clear mapping to EcoVadis criteria. Without a structured framework, it was difficult to know which actions were scoring points and which gaps were pulling the overall score down.

Inconsistent documentation standards. Evidence submitted in prior assessments varied in quality and format, making it harder to demonstrate the depth of Asana's sustainability commitments to reviewers.

The Greenplaces approach

Greenplaces partnered closely with Asana's sustainability and compliance teams to bring structure and accountability to the EcoVadis process.

Prior-year scorecard diagnostic. Greenplaces conducted a detailed diagnostic of Asana's prior-year scorecard to pinpoint the highest-impact improvement opportunities, identifying exactly where points were being left on the table.

Cohesive evidence library. We organized Asana's internal data, from renewable energy reports to supplier diversity documentation, into a cohesive evidence library aligned with EcoVadis categories.

Policy templates and framework alignment. Greenplaces provided policy templates for key EcoVadis categories, including environmental management, human rights, and sustainable procurement, ensuring properly structured documentation in every scored area.

Documentation best practices. We guided Asana through documentation best practices for every initiative and metric, ensuring evidence was credible, properly formatted, and would hold up to EcoVadis' review standards.

The results

The outcome was a notable percentage improvement in Asana's overall EcoVadis score, reflecting measurable progress across multiple categories. Environmental performance and sustainable procurement, two of the lowest-performing areas in the prior year, each achieved double-digit gains.

Beyond the score itself, Asana achieved something even more valuable: a clear, repeatable process for sustainability reporting. With Greenplaces' guidance, they established standardized documentation protocols, clearer accountability across teams, and a more cohesive sustainability narrative.

This partnership helped Asana translate meaningful sustainability action into verified, globally recognized impact. Today, Asana is better equipped to meet customer requirements and communicate its sustainability story, supported by a framework that aligns internal action with external recognition.
