Become a partnerESG report without additional effort: The VSME for SMEs
With the VERSO ESG Hub, SMEs implement the VSME standard efficiently. Developed from 15 years of practical experience in sustainability management – for reports that create added value, not just fulfill obligations.
What is the VSME standard?
The VSME standard (Voluntary Standard for Small and Midsized Enterprises) is a voluntary ESG reporting framework for non-listed SMEs. It enables structured and credible sustainability reporting – without the bureaucratic burden of full CSRD implementation.
Which companies must comply with the VSME standard?
The VSME is voluntary, but particularly relevant for:
- Companies that may no longer be subject to CSRD as a result of Omnibus – but would like to continue using their CSRD preparatory work in a meaningful way.
- Suppliers to large companies with ESG requirements.
- SMEs that want to take advantage of better financing and funding opportunities .
Use the VSME as a competitive advantage
Even though the VSME is voluntary, its implementation has tangible benefits:
- Stay competitive – Meet ESG requirements from customers and business partners.
- Better funding opportunities – ESG transparency facilitates access to funding and investors.
- Prepare for the future – Prepare for increasing sustainability requirements at an early stage.
- Communicate sustainability – Show your stakeholders that you operate sustainably, even beyond the regulatory framework.
