BIG.Cube and PwC Launch Strategic Partnership

BIG.Cube and PwC launch strategic partnership to optimize ESG data quality with the Q-THOR data quality solution

Munich, Frankfurt June 11, 2025

The auditing and consulting firm PwC and the SAP specialists from BIG.Cube are launching a strategic partnership to improve ESG data quality in companies. The core of the cooperation is the integration of the data quality software Q-THOR with PwC’s regulatory expertise for sustainability frameworks. This cooperation aims to support companies in coping with the growing requirements in the area of ESG reporting.

Innovative Solution for Growing Regulatory Challenges

The cooperation comes at a time of increasing reporting requirements for companies and financial institutions. Q-THOR provides pre-defined data quality checks for key sustainability frameworks such as the EU Taxonomy and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The software detects potential data issues at an early stage, significantly improving the quality of ESG reporting and supporting informed, data-based decisions.

Technical Know-How Meets Regulatory Expertise

The strength of the partnership lies in the combination of the respective core competencies:

BIG.Cube contributes comprehensive technical expertise in the field of data quality management. The in-house solution Q-THOR offers an innovative approach to data quality management.
PwC complements this technological basis with more than 30 years of experience in sustainability consulting and a deep understanding of ESG data requirements.

This synergy provides companies with a reliable solution for the precise and compliant assurance of their ESG data quality.

Powerful Functionalities for Efficient Data Quality Management

Q-THOR offers a range of key functions that are specifically tailored to the challenges faced by financial institutions and companies in the ESG sector:

Customizable quality checks: Possibility to create individual checks in self-service or use or adapt the predefined standards.
Automated execution: scheduling and execution of quality checks to increase the efficiency of the quality assurance process.
Transparent test results: Clear presentation of results for quick and easy troubleshooting.
Seamless integration and automation: Standardized interfaces for smooth integration into existing system landscapes and automation.

Targeted Response to Current Market Challenges

The cooperation between PwC and BIG.Cube offers a targeted solution to the current challenges faced by financial institutions, including:

Extensive reporting obligations that require efficient handling of data
Dependence on external data providers with sometimes inferior data quality
Responsibility for the data quality provided by affiliated companies
Financial and reputational risks, such as greenwashing, which can arise from incorrectly reported figures

With Q-THOR, we have created a solution that helps companies to significantly improve their data quality in the ESG area and thus efficiently meet regulatory requirements. Our technical expertise combined with PwC's regulatory expertise creates unique added value for our clients.
