By federations, for SMEs

With this tool, which is fully aligned with VS(ME), we, as a federation, wanted to address the pressing needs of our members, who could no longer find their way through the sustainability jungle. This tool helps you respond to VS(ME) questionnaires and deal with the trickle-down effects of companies subject to the CSRD. It also serves as a management tool to guide you through sustainability reporting, integrate sustainability into your business management and develop a vision for sustainability.

Sustainability reporting has become a license to operate — you can no longer do without it. But today our companies face a very heavy administrative and financial burden, along with a severe shortage of staff, time, and knowledge. In addition, customers and authorities are demanding more and more on all fronts. Companies were overwhelmed by sustainability questions, different questionnaires and requests relating to SBTi and EcoVadis, and were forced to buy expensive software tools and hire even more expensive consultants. All of this turned sustainability reporting into a hopeless task instead of creating opportunities.

As a federation, we are close to our members, and the companies asked us: “Help! How do we even start?!”

With this tool, we wanted to offer a practical solution: to provide knowledge, lend a helping hand, but above all to teach companies to report by themselves, and to see sustainability as an opportunity instead of yet another obligation. And that almost free of charge.

And we succeeded!

We immersed ourselves in the subject and are guiding our members through this journey. And what turns out? Many organizations and companies in other sectors, both at home and abroad, are showing interest in our instrument.

We already wish you great success with our tool, and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments!
