Voluntary sustainability reporting for SMEs
Are you aware of the results of your sustainability efforts? You may learn more about your ESG performance via the voluntary sustainability report (VSME). In this manner, you are able to determine which themes are most pertinent to you, where you are, and where you can have the biggest influence. In addition, it is a trustworthy document to show the public. Businesses can improve their market position if they can show that their operations are more sustainable.
What does a VSME-report entail?
A voluntary standard for creating sustainability reports for small and medium-sized businesses is called VSME. You comply with the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) by adhering to the VSME requirements. This mandates that big businesses report on how they address the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.
In the widest meaning of the word, the VSME is about sustainable company operations. Therefore, it’s not just about familiar topics like CO2 emissions and the circular economy. But also about equitable compensation, an inclusive hiring strategy, and, for instance, a strong anti-corruption policy. The performance of your business and your image are both impacted by social issues, which are becoming more and more prominent.
If you decide to draw up a VSME report, it must comply with prescribed guidelines. In this way, the EU ensures that the VSME remains a clear, reliable and transparent instrument for measuring sustainability performance. At Moore DRV, we can provide a VSME report in your corporate style that complies with the guidelines.
