How do you make sustainability concrete, affordable and manageable? A sustainability budget gives structure and clarity. Read more about how to build an effective sustainability budget in this blog.

The Council of the European Union has announced significant simplifications in sustainability reporting (CSRD) obligations. According to the Council, this should benefit entrepreneurs through less complex rules, lower costs, and clearer expectations. Therefore, 2026 is the time to create clarity about your company's sustainability. In this blog post, we clearly explain what's changing, why the EU is doing this, and what the consequences are for your company.

We introduce the Vault, a secure and centralised storage feature designed to help entrepreneurs and SMEs manage all sustainability‑related documents, evidence, and data in one place. The Vault addresses a common problem: information scattered across inboxes and disconnected systems, which slows down reporting, auditing, and collaboration.

The EU has made it clear that sustainability is here to stay. With the new target to cut emissions by 90% by 2040, every business will face higher expectations around transparency and sustainability. This may sound like a big shift, but with simple steps like understanding your carbon footprint and building a clear sustainability strategy, you can prepare today. With Eevery, sustainability becomes practical, accessible and achievable for your business.

Eevery will soon launch The Vault: a secure, central storage facility within our online tool. You can store all your sustainability documents, evidence, and data in one place: fully encrypted, intelligently organized, and always easy to find. This saves you time, reduces the hassle of searching, and ensures you have everything ready for reporting, audits, and supply chain responsibility. The Vault helps your company work faster, more clearly, and more securely towards sustainability goals.

Read here why sustainability data is important for your SME and how VSME reporting can play a role in this.

Eevery has been around for four years. In that time, several developers helped build the foundation of our platform. People who joined in the early days, when everything was still taking shape. Many of them have since followed their own path and are now doing great things, driven by intrinsic motivation. In this series, we share their stories. One of those developers is Bob van den Berge. He still builds software today, but combines it with something that gives him just as much energy: helping young people grow in IT.

The rules for products in Europe are changing. Where a good story used to be enough, hard proof will soon be required. Customers, supply chain partners and lawmakers want to know exactly what is in your product, where it comes from and what happens to it after use. With the Digital Product Passport, this transparency will be recorded for each individual product. From 2027, this will apply to clothing, textiles and footwear. Other sectors will follow later.

The EUDR (the European deforestation regulation) has been pushed back once more. Both the European Parliament and the European Council have now voted to delay the deadline until the end of 2026 for large companies and mid-2027 for small businesses. This constant delay creates a lot of confusion. Business owners mainly want to know one thing: what does this mean for my company? Below, we explain it in a short, straightforward way.

December is the moment when many entrepreneurs close the year. You collect numbers, wrap up the administration and prepare the annual accounts. That makes it the perfect time to include your VSME report as well. When you organise your sustainability work alongside your financial work, you use one financial year, one rhythm and one clear story.

November. The month when inboxes overflow, webshops go into overdrive, and discounts fight for attention. Tomorrow is Black Friday, but it has not been just a day for a long time. It has become a whole month of buying more, faster and cheaper. And more and more business owners ask themselves: Does this still fit who we are? Not because selling is wrong, but because growth can mean more than volume. That is why many SMEs now choose an alternative that matches their values.

In a time when food often comes in a package and rushing has become the norm, a whole generation is growing up with little sense of where their food really comes from. While CO2 emissions rise and our food system puts increasing pressure on the planet, many children learn nothing about the origins of the food they eat every day. For entrepreneur Bastiaan Koenders, that was the moment to step in. With TommyTomato Educatie, he is reconnecting children with real food. Not through books or campaigns, but with pans, spoons and fresh vegetables.
