Does the CSRD apply to my SME?

For most SMEs, not directly. Following the European simplification, the obligation mainly applies to a limited number of large companies. However, large customers and banks increasingly request data, and the VSME standard offers a practical answer to that.

What is the VSME standard?

A voluntary European standard for sustainability reporting, designed for SMEs. It lets you answer the questions of customers, banks and investors in a simple and comparable way.

What is double materiality?

An analysis that looks at two sides: which sustainability topics are financially important for your business, and where your business itself has an impact on people and the environment.
