The Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard (VS) provides a practical and proportionate framework for companies outside the CSRD scope. It helps organizations respond to demands from customers, investors, and lenders for ESG data efficiently.<\/p>\n

By establishing a value-chain cap to ensure that only standard-aligned sustainability information is requested, the VS aims at reducing redundant and inconsistent ESG questionnaires from customers and investors.<\/p>\n

The VS plays also a key role in improving scores in ESG ratings (e.g, EcoVadis<\/a>) which is critical not just for costumer perception but also for securing tenders.<\/p>\n

By offering a single, standardized source of sustainability data, the VS enables organizations with streamlined responses and builds a strong foundation for future reporting.<\/p>\n
