Answer ESG Questionnaires in Minutes, Not Days

No. AnswerVault is designed for operations directors, compliance managers, and business owners who handle ESG questionnaires alongside their other responsibilities. It comes pre-loaded with starter facts covering common ESG topics so you can begin responding to questionnaires straight away.

Your first questionnaire builds your vault — typically about 60 minutes. Every one after that takes minutes, not days, because your vault already has the answers.

Even 2–3 questionnaires a year cost 2–5 days each — that’s up to 15 days of annual admin. AnswerVault pays for itself on the second questionnaire. Your answers, evidence documents, and approved facts carry forward so each response takes hours, not days.

AnswerVault supports CSV and XLSX imports for bulk question loading. You can also paste questions directly from any source. Once imported, questions are categorised and matched against your stored facts automatically.

Data security is fundamental to the design. AnswerVault uses encrypted storage, role-based access controls, and checksummed exports to ensure your ESG data stays protected. All data is hosted in the UK/EU.

When you import questions, AnswerVault uses keyword matching and category analysis to surface relevant facts from your vault. It ranks suggestions by relevance so you can review and select the best match rather than searching manually or rewriting from scratch.

AnswerVault is framework-agnostic. Import questions via CSV/XLSX or enter them directly. It includes built-in templates for common frameworks including VSME/EFRAG, supplier assessments, and bank ESG reviews, with 40 pre-loaded starter facts aligned to standards like EcoVadis, CDP, ISO 14001, and UN Global Compact.

Most ESG questionnaires take 2 to 5 working days to complete from scratch. Around 80% of the questions repeat across different questionnaires, so building a reusable fact vault reduces subsequent responses to hours instead of days.

UK suppliers are most commonly asked to respond to VSME-aligned questionnaires, EcoVadis assessments, CDP climate questionnaires, and bespoke buyer sustainability surveys. There is no single mandatory framework for SMEs, but the CSRD is driving large companies to cascade requirements down their supply chains.

Free tools like ChatGPT or general-purpose AI assistants handle one-off tasks but don’t solve the core problem: rebuilding answers from scratch every time a new questionnaire arrives. AnswerVault stores your approved facts, evidence documents, and version history so each response builds on the last. You get audit trails, team access controls, checksummed exports, and institutional memory that survives staff changes — none of which exist in free tools. Most customers recoup the subscription cost on their second questionnaire.

Plans start from £19/month (Starter), with Professional at £39/month and Business at £59/month. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. See our pricing page for full details on what’s included in each plan.

Yes. AnswerVault is month-to-month with no long-term contracts. You can cancel from your account settings at any time, and you’ll retain access until the end of your current billing period.

At the end of your 14-day trial, you choose a plan to continue. Your data, facts, and documents are preserved — nothing is lost. If you decide not to continue, your account is paused and your data is retained for 30 days in case you change your mind.
