Voluntary standards are frameworks or guidelines that organizations can choose to adopt, rather than being legally required to follow. They provide structured guidance, promote best practices, and help organizations demonstrate credibility and transparency in areas such as ESG performance.
For most SMEs in the EU, sustainability reporting is not currently mandatory. Large and listed companies fall under the CSRD, which is compulsory. Voluntary frameworks like VSME allow SMEs to report ESG information without facing heavy compliance obligations.
Sustainability reporting is the practice of disclosing an organization’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. Reports typically include information on energy use, emissions, social impacts, governance practices, and initiatives to improve sustainability performance.
VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs) is a simplified, voluntary EU framework that helps small and medium-sized enterprises disclose ESG information. It is designed to be proportionate, focusing on the most relevant and material sustainability topics for SMEs.
VSME simplifies reporting by: • Focusing on the most material ESG topics • Offering a lean and proportionate framework • Providing a two-tiered approach: Basic VSME for smaller firms and Extended VSME for medium-sized SMEs • Aligning reporting with what supply chain partners and investors expect
