Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) report that their larger value chain partners and finance providers are increasingly asking them for sustainability data to fulfill regulatory requirements. For this purpose, ECOVIS ProventusLaw has developed a Sustainable Supplier Questionnaire. This Sustainable Supplier Questionnaire is a tool that can help you assess the impact you as a supplier have on the environment and where you can improve.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) leaves most SMEs out of their scope. However, their indirect impact on small businesses – which often operate with limited know-how and resources – is still significant.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are facing growing pressures and expectations to make their business more sustainable and start reporting on their sustainability performance. Some SMEs are aware of this and proactively take steps to adapt their businesses. At the same time, many SMEs are unsure about the expectations to meet and what standards or criteria to follow.
Answering these questions allows a company to contribute to the sustainability goals actively and to ensure that its operations are up-to-date. By completing the questionnaire, ECOVIS ProventusLaw experts will provide constructive answers and recommendations on where you can improve.
It is worth assessing for each company what questions can be expected from their large partners. Such questions help large companies to understand their suppliers and the impact on the sustainability of the goods and services they purchase.
