A customer sent you an ESG questionnaire. Can you answer it?
Paste the questions or upload the file, and see how much of it a structured ESG Passport would already cover — before you spend an afternoon finding out the hard way.
Processed once, never stored. What you paste or upload is used for this one check and is not saved. The questions are all we need — no need for your customer's name or any attachments.
If the questionnaire lives in a supplier portal rather than a file, copy the questions out and paste them above.
Takes about five seconds.
What this is, and what it isn't
Coverage Check estimates the overlap between a questionnaire and the data an ESG Passport holds. It does not fill anything in, does not submit anything to your customer, and issues no rating. It exists so that you know what you are walking into before you reply — and so that the questions nobody can answer from a Passport are named plainly rather than left for you to discover at the end.
Why the number is a range, and why it isn't the headline
Because a single precise percentage is a figure your customer can quote back at you, and because it would be false precision anyway. Matching a question to a datapoint is a judgement, and some questions sit between two answers. Where the match is genuinely uncertain we count it as not covered, so the summary can understate what you hold but never overstate it. The range shows both ends of that: the lower figure counts only confident matches, the upper one assumes every borderline question goes your way.
What happens to the text you paste
It is sent once to the model that does the matching, and then it is gone. It is not written to our database, not kept in logs, and not sent to analytics. What we keep is which of our field names matched, how many questions there were, and which band the result fell into — enough to know which datapoints buyers keep asking for, and not enough to reconstruct anything you pasted.
That matters more here than on most tools, because the document you are pasting usually belongs to your customer rather than to you.
If a lot of it isn't covered
That is worth knowing early, and it is not a verdict on your business. Large buyers often send every supplier the same questionnaire, including the parts written for companies a hundred times your size. Frameworks like EFRAG's VSME exist precisely because regulators recognise that smaller companies need proportionate reporting. Knowing which questions fall outside that is the first step to deciding what to do about them.
Questions
It reads the questions in the text you paste and matches each one against the fields an ESG Passport can hold. You get a qualitative summary, how many of the questions would be answered, which datapoints those are, and — after the email step — what you would still need to gather and why. It is an estimate from an automated read, not a review of your questionnaire.
No. It is used for one classification call and is never written to our database, logs, or analytics — the same applies to an uploaded file, which is read in memory and discarded. What we keep is our own vocabulary: which of our datapoint names matched, the counts, and the band the result fell into. There is no column anywhere that could hold your customer's questions, which is deliberate — most people using this are handling a document belonging to someone else.
PDF, Excel (.xlsx or .xlsm), Word (.docx), CSV or plain text, up to 5 MB. Spreadsheets and documents are read on our server and turned into text; PDFs are read directly, so scans without a text layer work too. If the questionnaire only exists inside a supplier portal like EcoVadis or Sedex there is no file to upload — copy the questions out and paste them instead.
You don't need to redact anything. The useful part is the questions — a covering email or a letterhead adds nothing to the result — but a whole file is fine too, and either way it is processed once and discarded. Uploading does send more than pasting (headers, logos, sheets the sender forgot about), which is the only reason to prefer pasting where it's easy.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. This estimates the overlap between what they asked and what a Passport holds. Your customer decides what they accept, what evidence they want alongside it, and whether they need something we don't cover at all. The value here is knowing what you're walking into before you reply.
Because they are related to something a Passport holds but on a different basis — a rate where we hold a count, a per-site figure where we hold a company total, a breakdown where we hold a single number. Those are counted as not covered in the summary, deliberately. Erring on the conservative side means the result can understate what you have, never overstate it.
Independently verified or audited figures, Scope 3 broken down by category, product-level footprints and life cycle assessments, social-compliance audit results, ratings issued by other providers, information-security certifications, and substance declarations like REACH or RoHS. When your questionnaire asks for one of those, the tool says so and explains why rather than guessing.
No. We don't fill in, submit, or send anything to your customer, and we're not a portal they log into. EcoDiligence helps you collect and organise your own data once, into a structured profile aligned with EFRAG VSME and IFRS S2 that you can reuse for every request that follows.
On this page, a few per hour and a handful per day — enough for the questionnaires actually in front of you, and it never costs you anything. Once you have a Passport, the version in your dashboard checks against your own answers instead of the generic field list, and that one is metered: one a month on Free, unlimited on Pro.
Next
If the overlap looked useful, the thing that turns it into an actual reply is the Passport itself — one structured profile you fill in once and reuse for every request that follows, with a shareable link and a PDF your buyer can act on.
