Why?
The ESG Tool helps you integrate sustainability into your business, enhancing your market position and driving innovation. It simplifies future reporting, fosters company-wide sustainability dialogue, and ensures compliance, setting the foundation for long-term success across your value chain.
Whom?
While CSRD requirements for SMEs are mostly voluntary, it's crucial to assess your position and prepare, as this will impact your business across the value chain. This will help you understand your impacts and risks and ensure you are ready when stakeholders begin requesting your company's sustainability information.
How?
To prepare for sustainability reporting, your company should first familiarize itself with the ESRS standards and reporting requirements. Before starting the report, it is essential to conduct a double materiality assessment to determine which ESG aspects are material for your company.
