PERSPECTIVE
What is the VSME?
The EU Green Deal and new directives like the CSRD, the SFDR and the EU Taxonomy have raised the bar for sustainability reporting across Europe—but CSRD only applies to large, publicly listed companies. Most consulting firms and digital tools are built for corporate groups, leaving micro, small and medium‑sized enterprises—the backbone of the economy—underserved.
The VSME (Voluntary Standard for Micro‑, Small & Medium‑sized Enterprises) is a voluntary, modular sustainability standard developed by EFRAG specifically for non‑listed SMEs.
Key elements of the VSME standard:
• Voluntary & modular – Basic or Comprehensive modules tailored to your company’s size.
• SME‑tailored—calibrated to your balance sheet size, turnover, employee count and industry.
• Built on the EU Taxonomy & ESRS—aligned with large‑enterprise frameworks, without unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Builds trust—delivers clear, structured reporting for customers, investors and public tenders.
At Format Green, we focus exclusively on SMEs—making reporting under the VSME simple, cost‑effective and operationally achievable for your business.
