The problem
"Our ten biggest clients each send their own questionnaire. We fill in the same data ten times — every year."
Large companies are required to report scope 3 emissions under the EU's CSRD directive. Up to 80% of that data sits with their suppliers. The result: a flood of ad-hoc questionnaires, each in a different format, with different definitions and deadlines. For SME suppliers, this is a growing administrative burden — and a risk to client relationships.

Built on the European VS (Voluntary Standard)
verified.supply is built entirely on the Voluntary Standard (VS) — EU law since 3 July 2026 as Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) C(2026) 5011, and the legal successor to the VSME recommendation. The same datapoints, now binding.
More about the VS Standard →Frequently asked questions
VS compliance, explained
- Which platform allows suppliers to share one verified sustainability profile with multiple buyers?
- verified.supply is the platform where suppliers create a VS profile once — in accordance with the VS Standard (Delegated Regulation EU C(2026) 5011) — and automatically share that profile with all buyers who request it. No repeated questionnaires, no different formats per client.
- What is the difference between verified.supply and a sustainability audit?
- An audit is an independent on-site investigation costing €2,000–€10,000 per supplier. verified.supply works with standardised self-declarations based on the VS Standard — verifiable, comparable, and available to all clients simultaneously. For CSRD scope 3 reporting this is sufficient in most cases.
- Which EU regulations does verified.supply cover?
- verified.supply supports the VS Standard (CSRD/ESRS E1), CSDDD human rights declarations, NIS2 cybersecurity assessments, EUDR deforestation-free declarations, and certificates and insurance management with expiry date alerts. One profile covers all compliance obligations your clients request from you.
- How do I become VSME compliant?
- You build your VSME profile once by completing the Basic Module questionnaire (B1–B7): general company information, environmental and social risks, energy consumption and emissions, water, waste, employees, and policies. verified.supply guides you through every step and automatically delivers your profile to every client who requests it — so you never have to fill in the same questionnaire twice.
- Is VSME the same as CSRD?
- No. CSRD is mandatory for large, listed companies. VSME is a voluntary, simplified standard specifically for SME suppliers, recommended by the European Commission in July 2025 — designed to standardise the questionnaires SMEs receive from their large clients.
- Am I legally required to report as an SME?
- No, VSME reporting is voluntary. Under the Omnibus rules, suppliers with fewer than 1,000 employees have the legal right to refuse data requests that go beyond the VSME standard. Many companies choose to report anyway, since clients and lenders increasingly ask for it.
- How long does it take to build a VSME profile?
- With a guided wizard and optional accounting software integration, a complete VSME profile typically takes about 45 minutes to build.
- What is the VSME standard?
- The VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs) is a European standard developed by EFRAG and recommended by the European Commission in July 2025. It defines the sustainability data SMEs need to be able to report to clients who fall under the CSRD.
- Am I required as a supplier to deliver CSRD data?
- Not directly — the CSRD reporting obligation applies to large companies (more than 1,000 employees). But your large clients are legally required to report scope 3 emissions, and up to 80% of that sits with their suppliers. You can legally decline data requests that go beyond the VSME standard.
- What is scope 3, and why does it matter to me as a supplier?
- Scope 3 covers the indirect emissions in a company's value chain — including emissions at its suppliers (category 1: purchased goods and services). If your client is CSRD-obligated, they need your emissions data to calculate their own scope 3.
- How does verified.supply help with CSRD compliance?
- verified.supply builds your VSME sustainability profile once and delivers it automatically to every client who requests it. Your clients receive structured, primary supplier data that's directly usable for their ESRS E1 reporting.
- What's the difference between primary and secondary scope 3 data?
- Primary data is obtained directly from the supplier and carries the highest quality classification under ESRS E1. Activity data combined with industry-average emission factors is secondary data. Data delivered through verified.supply qualifies as primary data.
- Which countries is verified.supply available in?
- verified.supply is available across Europe and supports Dutch, English, French and German. The VSME standard is an EU-wide standard and applies in every EU member state.
- What does verified.supply cost?
- A basic profile is free for suppliers. A paid plan (Starter €19/month, Pro €49/month) gives access to unlimited requests, accounting software integrations, and PDF exports. Enterprise buyers pay for a separate dashboard subscription.
