Got an ESG Questionnaire? Here's How to Answer It Fast
This tool helps businesses generate a GHG Protocol–aligned carbon emissions draft in minutes, using only annual spend data. No consultants. No complex calculations. No guesswork.
This page is for you if…
You've been asked to provide:
- Scope 1 emissions
- Scope 2 emissions
- Scope 3 emissions (supplier or value-chain data)
And you're thinking:
- "We've never calculated emissions before"
- "We don't track fuel or electricity in detail"
- "We just need a defensible response—fast"
This is exactly what this tool is built for.
Why companies are asking for this now
More organizations now require carbon data from suppliers as part of:
- ESG questionnaires
- Sustainability assessments
- Vendor onboarding or renewal
- Regulatory spillover (CSRD, California rules, internal policies)
Even small businesses are being asked to respond.
The good news: Most buyers accept estimated, spend-based emissions data from suppliers—as long as it's documented and defensible.
The problem most businesses face
- No internal ESG expertise
- No activity data (kWh, liters, meters)
- Consultants are expensive and slow
- Deadlines are short
You don't need a perfect report. You need a clear, standards-aligned draft you can submit or adapt.
How this works (simple process)
1. Upload your annual spend or general ledger CSV
2. We classify expenses into Scope 1, 2, and (optionally) key Scope 3 categories
3. Emissions are calculated using GHG Protocol–approved spend-based (EEIO) factors
4. You receive a professional PDF carbon emissions draft
That's it.
Choose the draft you need
Scope 1 & 2 Draft – $20
Includes:
- Direct fuel and energy (Scope 1)
- Purchased electricity (Scope 2)
- Spend traceability
- Methodology & scope boundary statement
- Supplier-ready PDF
Best if the questionnaire only asks for Scope 1 & 2.
Complete Draft (Scope 1, 2 & Top Scope 3) – $49
Includes everything above, plus:
- High-impact Scope 3 categories (e.g. logistics, cloud services)
- Clearly defined boundaries and assumptions
- Designed for full ESG questionnaires
Best if the questionnaire asks for value-chain or Scope 3 data.
Is this acceptable for ESG questionnaires?
Yes—for supplier disclosures and questionnaires. This draft:
- Aligns with the GHG Protocol
- Uses recognized EEIO emission factors
- Clearly states assumptions and limitations
- Matches what enterprises expect from SMEs
Note: This is not an audited statutory report. It is a supplier-ready estimate, which is what most questionnaires require.
Why businesses use this instead of consultants
- Fast: minutes instead of weeks
- Affordable: $20–$49 vs thousands in consulting fees
- Clear: numbers + documented methodology
- Practical: built for real-world supplier requests
Most users just need to respond correctly and move on.
Common questions
Do I need exact fuel or electricity usage?
No. This uses the spend-based method, accepted when activity data is unavailable.
Can I edit the report before submission?
Yes. The draft is designed to be reviewed, refined, or attached as needed.
Will this guarantee acceptance?
No tool can guarantee that—but this significantly reduces rejection risk compared to guessing or leaving fields blank.

Legal & Methodology Note: This report is an automated, spend-based emissions estimate generated in line with the GHG Protocol. It is intended for ESG questionnaires and supplier disclosures. For audited or statutory reporting, activity-based data and professional verification may be required.
