🌍WE ARE HERE TO CHAMPION THE SMEs! The submission of VSME is a milestone in sustainability reporting for SMEs 🌱 ESG Report is developed by sustainability thought leaders and experts to ease reporting for SMEs. Together with AI and automatisation professionals we have created an automated VSME reporting tool named 'ESG Report'. We’re excited to share that EFRAG has officially launched the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for Non-Listed Micro-, Small-, and Medium-Sized Undertakings (VSME)! 🎉 This new standard represents a major step in making sustainability reporting accessible, proportionate, and relevant for smaller businesses. Tailored for non-listed entities, the VSME standard offers a simplified framework to support SMEs in showcasing their sustainability efforts, aligning with EU objectives, and meeting growing stakeholder expectations without undue burden. Key highlights: 🔹 Two reporting modules – A Basic Module for foundational disclosures and a Comprehensive Module for businesses looking to expand their reporting 🔹 Voluntary adoption – Designed to fit the capacities of SMEs while maintaining flexibility 🔹 Accompanying Basis for Conclusions – Provides clarity on the reasoning behind the standard’s requirements While the VSME standard offers invaluable guidance, EFRAG emphasizes that this document does not substitute for professional advice and assumes no liability for its application. This marks a new chapter in inclusive sustainability reporting, empowering even the smallest businesses to contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. 🌿 Are you ready to take your SME's sustainability reporting to the next level? Let us champion you for better SME business development and strenghtening competition in fragmented globalised markets!
