For whom?
Data points instead of 1,000+
The VSME standard only includes around 75 data points, which is significantly fewer than the more than 1,000 data points required for CSRD reporting.
Two modules: Basic & Comprehensive
Micro-enterprises start with the Basic module. More ambitious SMEs choose the Comprehensive module with more detailed ESG data and strategic orientation.
No obligation to audit, no obligation to publish
The VSME standard does not require an external audit or mandatory publication. You decide when and how you report.
