Sustainability is increasingly becoming a key requirement for companies wishing to remain competitive in the EU, attract major business partners and win tenders. Providing standardised sustainability information also facilitates access to financing, investment, and subsidies – and in some cases, it is even a prerequisite.
For medium-sized companies, however, this does not mean having to set up extensive CSR departments or collect thousands of data points. The VSME provides a pragmatic and resource-efficient solution for introducing ESG management and reporting efficiently. It also offers the significant advantage that, in line with the European Commission's Omnibus Package, large companies will in future only be allowed to request sustainability information from their business partners that comply with the new VSME-based standard (Value Chain Cap).
In our webinar, you will not only learn how to use VSME reporting in response to questionnaires from banks and business partners or as a competitive advantage in tenders, but also how to combine sustainability management with risk management and governance processes in order to make more informed business decisions, increase resilience and unlock economic value!
Our approach goes beyond theory and shows you in a practical way how you can implement the VSME with the help of a modern software tool and lean consulting and anchor it in your organisation with a focus on economic benefits.
Discover how sustainability management can become a positive business case with Funk and ESG.DNA, and how you can strengthen your company's competitiveness and future viability today with a manageable level of effort.
