03 · SMEs asked for VSME, GRI or CDP information
Sustainability and ESG reporting for small and mid-sized companies
Large customers and banks increasingly send smaller suppliers the same request: show us your sustainability data. The EU VSME standard was written for exactly this, and GRI, CDP and IFRS S1/S2 cover the rest.
We decide with you which framework and which items apply, collect the data with simple templates, and write report sections in plain English, ready for your designer.

Frequently asked questions
Which reporting standard should a small company use?
For most SMEs asked by EU customers or banks, the VSME Basic Module. Companies reporting to investors may need GRI or IFRS S1/S2 alignment, and some customers require a CDP response.
Do you design the report?
We write and structure the content and tables; layout is usually done by your designer or in your brand template.
Can you include our carbon footprint?
Yes. Most reports include Scope 1 and 2 at minimum; we can calculate them as part of the project.
