    Frequently asked questions,
    that we answer

    A sustainability report is a structured document that sets out the environmental, social and economic impact of a company. It is important for creating transparency, building stakeholder trust, and embedding long-term sustainable strategies within the organization. Small and medium-sized enterprises can also produce transparent sustainability reports to stand out from competitors and secure long-term partnerships.

    The most common standards are:

    • GRI (Global Reporting Initiative): Broad approach to transparency
    • SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board): Sector-focused
    • ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards)
    • VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Standard for SME): Voluntary standard

    A sustainability report should contain information on the following areas:

    • Environment (e.g. climate protection, biodiversity, circular economy)
    • Social issues (e.g. working conditions, human rights)
    • Governance (e.g. anti-corruption, diversity)

    Companies benefit from reporting:

    • Greater transparency and trust among stakeholders
    • Improving competitiveness
    • Better access to sustainable financing
    • Support in complying with regulatory requirements
