Invitation to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to a practical workshop

Sustainable reporting according to the VSME standard for SMEs

When: Thursday 10 September 2026

Where: Online

Duration: 10.00 – 11.00

 

The Slovenian Centre for Circular Economy is organizing a practical online workshop intended for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises that want to gain knowledge for the preparation of a sustainability report according to the VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs). The workshop is intended for companies that are already facing ESG data requirements from customers, banks, investors or tenderers and want to simplify their reporting and align it with the European standard.

Sustainable performance is becoming an important factor in the competitiveness of companies. Large buyers, banks, investors and tenderers are increasingly demanding environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures from their suppliers. Instead of filling in a number of different questionnaires, companies can prepare a single report according to the VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs), which is a simplified European framework for sustainable reporting by small and medium-sized enterprises.

At the practical workshop, you will learn how to prepare a VSME report, which disclosures to include, and how to collect and structure the data required of you by business partners and financial institutions.
