How this assessment helps you
What this assessment is for
This Sustainability Reporting Readiness Assessment helps organizations understand where they currently stand in relation to sustainability reporting — and how to move forward in a structured, realistic way.
It is designed especially for organizations that are at an early or intermediate stage of sustainability disclosure and want to take a first credible step without over-engineering the process.
What you will get
By completing this assessment, you will receive:
- A clear, structured sustainability report draft aligned with the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for Non-Listed SMEs (VSME)
- An honest baseline of your current sustainability practices across:
- Business model and value chain
- Environmental practices (materials, energy, water, waste)
- Social impact and workforce considerations
- Transparent identification of data gaps and limitations, where information is not yet available or formalized
- A foundation you can build on and improve over time, rather than a one-off document
This is not about perfection — it is about starting from where you are.
How organizations typically use this report
Organizations use the resulting report for a variety of practical purposes, including:
- Internal orientation
To understand current sustainability maturity and identify priority areas for future action or data collection. - Dialogue with banks, investors, or partners
To demonstrate awareness, transparency, and a structured approach to sustainability — even where data is still developing. - Preparation for future reporting requirements
To build internal readiness for CSRD or other regulatory and stakeholder expectations over time. - External communication
As a voluntary, good-faith disclosure that explains the organization’s current position and intent — without overclaiming. - Year-on-year improvement
As a baseline document that can be updated, refined, and expanded in future reporting cycles.
What this assessment is not
To avoid any confusion, this assessment and the resulting report:
- Is not an audited or assured sustainability report
- Does not replace CSRD reporting obligations
- Does not provide legal, financial, or investment advice
- Does not require complete or perfect data
It is intended as a practical starting point, not a compliance exercise.
Why this approach matters
Many organizations delay sustainability reporting because they believe they need:
- complete datasets,
- complex systems,
- or external consultants from day one.
This tool takes a different approach:
start with clarity, transparency, and realism — then improve.
