Sustainability reporting according to VSME
Is there a simple, standardised way for small businesses to get started with sustainability reporting? Yes, the VSME standard.
The VSME standard offers a simple and structured introduction to sustainability reporting specifically for small businesses (SMEs). The standard was developed to make key sustainability aspects visible even with limited resources, and to do so in a way that is understandable, transparent and practical. We support you in selecting the relevant content, collecting data and preparing it in a way that is tailored to your target audience. The result is a compact report that shows that smaller companies are also taking responsibility.
Our Offer
Identifying relevant sustainability issues, taking into account stakeholder interests, forms the basis for sound reporting. Even though the VSME standard does not require a double materiality analysis, we recommend this approach because it provides a solid foundation for further sustainability measures that go beyond mere reporting requirements. We then work with you to define the relevant report content. To do this, we check the applicability of the required data points and carry out a gap analysis. If any content is missing, we help you develop it. Finally, we act as your sparring partner to help you craft the reporting content in a clear, professional and effective manner.
