More and more companies are finding that customers, banks, investors and business partners are requesting sustainability information.
This is due to new European rules on sustainability and finance, which require many companies to collect and report sustainability information from their suppliers. This means that the requirements are spreading throughout the value chain - including to small and medium-sized enterprises.
At the same time, there are currently many different frameworks, questionnaires and certification schemes related to sustainability. For many companies, this is perceived as fragmented and difficult to navigate.
The EU has therefore developed the VSME standard - a common European format for sustainability reporting for small and medium-sized companies. The standard makes it easier to gather relevant sustainability information in a single structure that can be used by customers, banks, investors and public bodies.
Kimaa builds on the VSME standard and makes it easier to collect and structure this information.
