More than a document

In a business world that demands transparency, a sustainability report is not just a document. It is proof that you are a trustworthy partner, ready for the future.

What is a sustainability report?

A sustainability report shows how your company’s activities affect the environment and society, and what you do to reduce negative impacts and contribute to sustainable development. It presents your performance transparently in three areas (ESG):

  • Environment: your ecological impact, resource use and the measures you take to reduce them.
  • Social: working conditions, community involvement and responsibility towards employees.
  • Governance: transparent decision-making, ethical practices and management structure.

Which standard fits you?

  • VSME: the European voluntary standard for SMEs, published by EFRAG, and what banks, investors and large customers increasingly ask smaller companies for. Its Basic Module covers requirements B1–B11.
  • ESRS: the European Sustainability Reporting Standards under the CSRD, for companies in scope and for subsidiaries supplying data to a group report. Includes the double materiality assessment and, for listed groups, external assurance.
  • GRI: the most widely used global framework, useful when your stakeholders or your group already report under GRI.

Why it matters

A sustainability report aligned with European standards opens doors that would otherwise stay closed.

  • Finance on better terms: EU funds, green loans and financing programmes increasingly ask for evidence of sustainability. A report aligned with European standards makes you eligible.
  • Contracts in European supply chains: multinationals ask suppliers for verifiable ESG data. A structured sustainability report shows you are a transparent, well-prepared partner.
  • Room for improvement: the reporting process helps you analyse current performance and find new ways to save resources, cut costs and improve efficiency.

How we build the report

A good sustainability report doesn’t start with writing. It starts with understanding your business.

We don’t fill in templates. We collect real data, assess what genuinely matters for your company and your stakeholders, and build a document you can actually use, not just present.

We rely on internationally recognised methodologies such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). These standards keep the information you report transparent, relevant and comparable, and give you a solid framework for showing your environmental, social and governance performance.

What preparing the report involves

An overview of the process.

    Step 1

    Data collection

    We start with a detailed analysis of your company’s activities, collecting data on resource use, energy, social initiatives and governance practices.

    We focus on environmental impact, social performance and governance structure, to build a solid basis for the report.

    Materiality assessment

    We work closely with your team to identify the most important topics to report, whether environmental initiatives, community support or operational efficiency.

    The focus is on the topics that matter both to you and to your stakeholders: customers, investors and business partners.

    Drafting and structure

    The report follows the applicable standard, VSME or ESRS, and is organised in a logical, accessible way.

    We focus on clarity and on showing your company’s real contribution to sustainability, so the document is useful to investors and partners alike.

    Review and publication

    Once complete, the report goes through a rigorous review to make sure all information is accurate and meets legal requirements and the applicable standards.

    We support you through preparation and publication, so the report is presented professionally to investors, partners and other stakeholders.

With a well-structured process, the sustainability report becomes more than compliance: it is a chance to show transparency, strengthen relationships with partners and investors, and set strategic directions for sustainable growth.

With our help, the final report becomes a valuable tool that reflects your company’s commitment to a sustainable, responsible future.
