VSME reporting
VSME reporting offers SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) the opportunity to prepare a voluntary sustainability report in accordance with the CSRD Directive, even if the actual threshold conditions are not yet met. The VSME standard (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard) helps to compile emissions, energy consumption, personnel data and ethical practices into a clear report.
Compliance with the VSME standard can bring significant benefits to SMEs:
- Credible reporting: The VSME standard helps to report on sustainability work credibly to both internal and external stakeholders.
- Competitive advantage: Large companies benchmark their subcontractors and, as a result of EU sustainability requirements, request sustainability information from their value chain. Compliance with the VSME standard helps SMEs meet these requirements and enables them to differentiate themselves from their competitors.
- Lighter reporting: Compliance with the VSME standard enables SMEs to carry out sustainability reporting more easily than large companies.
- Systematic data collection: The standard helps to systematically collect the necessary information and develop the company’s sustainability work.
