Requirements for your SME
SMEs are increasingly required to provide key figures in the area of sustainability. In most cases, this reporting requirement comes from customers and not due to legal regulations. This need for information results from the obligation of large companies to report on the entire value chain. Furthermore, the European Commission is pursuing the goal of a transformation towards a sustainable economy, for example through the regulation of banks and financial institutions, which in turn demand information from their customers. In addition, society is increasingly demanding a focus on sustainability. Voluntary sustainability reporting makes the company more interesting for future employees and customers.
SMEs are currently confronted with an increasing number of questionnaires, the content and scope of which are very different. Consistent requirements are therefore very important in order to reduce the reporting effort and to adapt it to the capacities of SMEs. The European reporting standards for SMEs (VSME EFRS) are currently being developed to define uniform metrics on sustainability aspects.
Klimabilanz GmbH supports your SME in achieving this reporting standard (VSME EFRS). Such a sustainability report can be created with around 50 hours of consultation. This means your SME remains eligible as a supplier for regulated companies and meets your bank's reporting requirements. Contact us for an initial consultation.
