Why now?
The request is coming. Be ready.
Supply chain pressure
Large companies reporting under CSRD are asking their suppliers for ESG data. When the email arrives, you need an answer, not a 3-month project.
Banks want sustainability data
Swiss banks are factoring ESG into credit decisions. A VSME declaration gives them exactly what they need in a format they trust.
Voluntary, but expected
VSME reporting is legally voluntary for typical SMEs. It is becoming a practical response when clients, investors, or banks ask for structured sustainability data.
Process
Three steps. Evidence kept with the declaration.
For Treuhänder and advisors
A lightweight client evidence workflow.
QuickVSME does not yet include a multi-client advisor workspace. It can still help discovery calls by giving each SME a structured way to collect data, attach evidence, and share a declaration pack for review.
Client collects data
The SME completes the guided B1-B11 flow and stores bills, HR records, and waste documents next to the relevant inputs.
Advisor reviews the pack
The exported PDF and evidence links give a Treuhänder or sustainability advisor a focused review set instead of scattered spreadsheets and email attachments.
Declaration is shared
After internal or advisor review, the SME can send the PDF to a bank, customer, or procurement team with the source documents kept in one place.
A dedicated advisor workspace, client dashboard, and review queue are later product scope.
Scope
Swiss context, clear boundaries.
KBOB 2009/1:2022 Factors
Configured Swiss KBOB lifecycle factors are used for the supported energy and fuel calculations. Review inputs before sharing the output.
VSME Basic Module (B1-B11)
Guided coverage for the implemented Basic Module disclosures. Comprehensive Module, assurance, and advisor workspace features are not included.
Evidence Storage
Supporting files can be stored alongside the declaration so reviewers can trace where figures came from.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is VSME reporting mandatory?▾
Legally voluntary. But your bank, key accounts, and large customers are already asking for it. Supply chain pressure from CSRD-reporting companies is making it a practical requirement.
How long does it take?▾
The workflow is designed for SMEs that already have utility bills, HR data, and waste records available. Time depends on how complete those source documents are.
What exactly do I get?▾
A professional PDF declaration covering the implemented EFRAG VSME Basic Module B1-B11 workflow, with supported GHG calculations based on configured Swiss KBOB 2009/1:2022 factors. In your choice of language.
Why not use a full ESG platform?▾
If you just need a VSME Basic Module declaration, a broad ESG platform may be more than you need. QuickVSME focuses on one workflow: your declaration, for CHF 49.
