Many SMEs are already being inundated with requests to provide data on ESG factors along their supply chains as well as key figures for their own company. But how do companies that have few resources and no time for this get reliable and robust figures? The requests for these figures and data are based on the one hand on the CSRD, which will be relevant for significantly more companies from 2025, and on the other hand on the new Supply Chain Act , which demands more transparency. However, there are numerous overlaps between the requirements for the CSRD and the Supply Chain Act – so if you set up the collection of these figures once, you are killing two birds with one stone. The Environmental Sustainability Dashboard (ESD) from Interzero is a modern solution for recording exactly the environmental key figures that are relevant for the CSRD and the Supply Chain Act. This also applies to the figures for Scope 3 – i.e. everything that occurs before value is added in your own company by suppliers and afterwards through transport, use and disposal of the products . The ESD meets the international standards GRI, GHG and CED. At the same time , the company retains control over its data . In order to collect the right key figures, Interzero’s support begins with the analysis of double materiality : What impact does the company’s activities have on the environment and society? How do external factors such as global warming affect the company? Based on this, relevant ESG aspects are identified and finally a strategy is developed to improve environmental performance, collect all the necessary figures and use them to create CSRD-compliant reports . There are already voluntary standards for ESG reporting for SMEs. On the one hand, this is the ideal preparation for the mandatory reporting that will soon be necessary. On the other hand, it promotes innovation in the company, makes it fit for the future and improves its competitiveness .
