New: Eevery launches the VSME Reporting Tool
VSME is the new European standard for sustainability reporting. Simple, voluntary, and designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises that want to become more sustainable. But without the time, budget, or appetite for thick reports or expensive consultants. At Eevery, we've developed the perfect solution: the VSME Reporting Tool. A user-friendly tool that helps you measure where you stand and instantly generates a professional report. Ideal for business owners who take sustainability seriously. Whether it's for your customers, banks, supply chain partners, or simply for yourself.
What is VSME?
VSME is a voluntary ESG reporting standard. EFRAG developed it on behalf of the European Commission and ensures complete alignment with EU frameworks. It’s designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses. No mandatory external audits, no lengthy paperwork, just clear insights and a credible story you can share.
Think of it as a ‘lightweight CSRD’, recognised across all EU member states, but much easier and without costly external audits.
Why is that important?
- It makes your sustainability data comparable and trustworthy
- You speak the same language as customers, supply chain partners and financiers
- You decide when to start, but you can already show what you’re doing

Who is the VSME Reporting Tool for?
Our VSME tool is designed for small and medium-sized enterprises that prioritise sustainability, whether you're just getting started or already making progress. For example:
- Businesses that are already taking sustainable steps and want to back it up with an objective report
- Suppliers to larger companies that require reporting (e.g. through CSRD obligations)
- Entrepreneurs aiming to win tenders or contracts with a strong sustainability story
- Organisations that want to position themselves as sustainable to customers or future employees
- Companies that need to report to banks, investors, or public bodies
In short, for business owners who want to take control of their sustainability efforts, voluntarily, but professionally.
Why start now?
If you claim to run a sustainable business, people expect you to show it. A professional report helps you do that.
Also:
- You can immediately make your sustainability results visible
- You build a trustworthy, future-proof reputation
- You stay ahead of future requirements, such as the CSRD
- The sooner you start, the easier it is to track and show your progress over time
And: you can already report on your 2024 sustainability performance today. No need to wait until it becomes mandatory, start when it suits you.
