Interoperabilità
Collect once. Disclose everywhere.
Regulatory frameworks overlap, but they never align perfectly. Most platforms give you separate templates for each and leave you to reconcile manually.
Our engine maps data points at paragraph and sub-paragraph level. It operates at three levels: framework to framework, QB to framework, and QB to QB. Built-in mappings for ESRS, GRI, SFDR, ISSB, EU Taxonomy, and VSME. You can build your own on top

Interoperability between questionnaires
Organisations collect ESG data through multiple instruments. When a portfolio company responds to one questionnaire, the platform identifies every other instrument requiring the same data point. The response populates all of them. Five similar questionnaires from five investors: one set of answers.

How the interoperability engine works
Framework to Framework
Pre-built, data-point-level mappings across ESRS, GRI, SFDR, ISSB, EU Taxonomy, VSME. Paragraph and sub-paragraph granularity. Bidirectional.
QB-EDGE to Framework
QB-EDGE responses map directly to disclosure requirements. A portfolio company answering a due diligence questionnaire populates ESRS, SFDR, or GRI disclosures.
QB-EDGE to QB-EDGE
Overlapping questions across instruments are mapped. A response in one questionnaire populates corresponding questions in every other.
User-configurable
Build custom mappings for client questionnaires, internal structures, or emerging frameworks.
New framework onboarding
Adapt new standards not yet in the system. Framework builder defines and connects to existing mappings.
Governance lifecycle
Draft, approved, deprecated. Standards evolve; mappings update without breaking connections.
Cross-solution
Operates across Reporting, QB-EDGE, and all GIG solutions. No additional configuration.
Why interoperability matters now
The global sustainability reporting landscape is converging. EFRAG and ISSB have published joint alignment guidance. National regulators from Singapore to Brazil to the UK are adopting international standards. ISSB is becoming the baseline outside Europe, while the EU connects SFDR, Taxonomy, and CSRD into an integrated architecture.
For organisations operating across borders, interoperability at the data-point level is what allows you to collect once and satisfy obligations wherever they arise: European, international, or national.
We participate in the discussions that shape these standards, across European and international processes.
