We’re at a pivotal moment in sustainability reporting with the introduction of the ESRS LSME and VSME standards by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG). These standards mark a significant shift in how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Europe will approach sustainability reporting.
