For whom?
Data points instead of 1,000+
The VS standard covers only about 75 data points, which is significantly fewer than the more than 1,000 data points required under CSRD reporting obligations.
Two Modules: Basic & Additional Module
Micro-enterprises start with the Basic module. More ambitious SMEs and mid-sized companies choose the Advanced module, which includes more detailed ESG data and strategic guidance.
No obligation to audit, no obligation to publish
The VS Standard does not require an external audit or mandatory disclosure. You decide when and how to report.
