Clarity and confidence for small and medium-sized businesses
As CSRD regulations evolve, many medium-sized companies find themselves in a grey zone. The so-called omnibus discussions suggest they may fall out of scope, but the demand for transparency and credible reporting remains. That’s where TOSCA can help you navigate this uncertainty and make the best strategic choice for your company; whether that means remaining with the CSRD framework or transitioning to the VSME standard. We provide clarity on the implications of the evolving regulatory landscape. Together, we determine whether CSRD or VSME is the right fit based on your ambition, stakeholder expectations, and sector.
If VSME is the preferred route, we offer you tailored guidance through every step of the reporting process.
What we offer:
1. Materiality analysis for SMEs
We help you identify and prioritize the sustainability themes that matter most to your business and stakeholders.
2. Gap analysis
Together, we review your current policies and data per material theme to spot gaps in targets, measures, actions, and KPIs; and support you in updating or creating what's missing.
3. Data Mapping & Reporting Support
We help you move from (multiple, scattered) spreadsheets to structured data points and reporting. Our goal: a complete, representative, and credible sustainability report that reflects your true impact.
4. Leadership Program: VSME From Pain to Gain
For small and medium-sized businesses needing guidance at the leadership level, we offer a practical and inspiring program: “VSME: From Pain to Gain.” This program helps leaders turn reporting into an opportunity for consolidating sustainability in the daily operations of the company and meaningful organizational value.
5. Combine VSME with EcoVadis for Greater Impact
Does the VSME framework alone not fully meet your organization’s ambition? We offer a tailored trajectory to combine VSME reporting with an EcoVadis assessment. EcoVadis is an independent sustainability rating adopted by over 130,000 companies across 180 countries, spanning 220 sectors.
Since the VSME standard does not require external assurance, adding an EcoVadis rating can strengthen the credibility of your sustainability management efforts; particularly to your business partners. By integrating the two processes, you also save time: many documents and data points can be reused or cross-referenced across both assessments.
Why TOSCA?
We understand the unique challenges of small and medium-sized enterprises. Our approach is collaborative and grounded in real-world experience. Whether you’re unsure about the right framework or already committed to reporting, we help you move from complexity to clarity, and from obligation to opportunity.
