Building ESG data and meet EU expectations

Simplify VSME reporting with guidance

VSME Reporting

Your practical starting point for credible SME sustainability reporting

Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are under increasing pressure to provide accurate ESG data to banks, investors and customers, while reporting remains voluntary for most of them. Without clear standards or internal expertise, gathering reliable, consistent information can be difficult. DEKRA can help you to navigate this challenge by offering guidance on the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs (VSME), developed by EFRAG and aligned with the CSRD, providing a clear path from data gathering to creating a credible, shareable report that meets stakeholder expectations and strengthens market position. The result is transparency that earns trust and strengthens your readiness for future sustainability expectations across European value chains.
