For suppliers & small businesses

Answer a customer's ESG questionnaire — without a consultant

Create a reusable ESG Passport instead of rebuilding the same information in another spreadsheet. Free for your first one — no credit card.

Why this keeps happening

  • The questionnaire asks for data nobody at your company tracks by that name.
  • The last one you filled in lives in someone's inbox, in a format you cannot reuse.
  • Every customer asks slightly differently, so none of the work carries over.
  • You are not a sustainability department, and this is not your job description.

The fix is not a better spreadsheet. It is answering once into a structured record you keep, then sending that record to whoever asks next.

And it is not a PDF you send once and forget. Your Passport carries a visible last-updated date, so a year-old snapshot is never mistaken for current data — on either side of the request.

03How it works

From zero to ESG Passport

No training. No consultants. Just answer and share.

  1. Step 01

    Answer six short steps

    Company details, energy, waste and water, workforce and governance, supply chain, certifications. Dedicated emission factors for 11 countries built in, and a labelled regional average everywhere else.

  2. Step 02

    AI reads your bills

    Upload your electricity bill in any language — our AI extracts the data automatically. Hebrew, German, Japanese — it all works.

  3. Step 03

    Get your ESG Passport

    A permanent profile page at ecodiligence.com/profile/your-company. Plus a PDF, and on Pro the pre-filled VSME Digital Template (Excel) for EFRAG's official XBRL converter.

  4. Step 04

    Share with anyone

    Send your profile link to procurement teams, investors, or regulators. They see a professional dashboard — no login required. QR code included.

  5. Step 05

    Update annually

    Come back once a year to refresh your data. Your URL never changes. Your passport grows with your business.

Answer once. Reuse it wherever it applies.

Different frameworks ask for the same facts in their own words. Your Passport keeps one answer and maps it to each requirement it serves.

The same Scope 1 figure serves each of these requirements; you answer the fuel questions once.

Everything in a Passport is self-reported and not independently audited, including certifications.

Structured around what customers actually ask for

Guided by relevant ESG frameworks, and honest about what a self-reported record is.

  • Guided

    Plain-language questions with examples and plausibility checks, not a blank template.

  • Country-aware

    Grid emission factors and applicable frameworks follow the company's country.

  • Framework-mapped

    Disclosures map to the reporting frameworks customers commonly reference.

  • Self-reported

    Clearly labelled as self-reported and not independently audited.

Have these to hand: (1) your most recent annual electricity bill (the AI bill parser reads it for you); (2) approximate annual fuel use if you have a vehicle fleet or on-site combustion; (3) headcount split by gender; (4) waste volumes in kg or tonnes if you track them. That's enough for the standard wizard. You can save and resume any time — partial Passports stay in your dashboard.

Yes. Pro includes up to 10 ESG Passports under a single account, which makes it the natural fit for sustainability consultants and advisors managing several small business clients. You create Passports on behalf of the small businesses you advise, share them by link, and update them annually. Each client's Passport gets its own clean public URL — your client can hand the link to their buyers directly. There's no dedicated 'consultant mode' yet, but the Pro plan covers the workflow today. Two different numbers come up here and they are not the same thing: 10 is the ceiling of the plan, so if you need more than 10 client Passports, email hello@ecodiligence.com and we'll price the volume — no sales call required. Separately, around 25 clients is roughly where a firm starts to want bulk import, advisor-branded output and a client dashboard; none of those is built yet, and we're shaping that roadmap with advisors working at that scale.

ESG Passports are self-reported. EcoDiligence is not an audit firm and does not provide assurance. We run plausibility checks during data entry (flagging values outside typical industry ranges) and show clear data-quality indicators on your profile. Buyers, banks, or regulators that require third-party assurance can use your VSME Digital Template (Excel) export with an external auditor — that's the document built for the assurance workflow.

You can set up a supplier network, invite suppliers individually or by CSV, and each one receives an invitation email and a guided flow carrying your logo and colour. Automatic reminders go to anyone who hasn't responded. Every invitation carries a status, so you can see who has started and who has finished, and you can export the whole supplier list and its data as CSV. The dashboard shows network averages for emissions, renewable and recycling share, plus top emitters, certification coverage and response funnel. Advanced network analytics, team-member management with roles, SSO/SAML, bulk aggregated exports and API access are on the roadmap and not available yet.

Answer it once
