Problem
SMEs often lack the expertise, resources, and streamlined tools needed to collect ESG data and produce sustainability reports that comply with the EU’s VSME‑ESRS and related regulations. This creates a barrier to meeting stakeholder expectations, securing green financing, and complying with emerging waste and carbon reporting requirements.
Solution
Aila offers a web‑based ESG reporting platform that is fully compatible with the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs (VSME). The solution guides users step‑by‑step through the required disclosures, automatically generates a complete sustainability report, and includes a built‑in CO₂ calculator aligned with the GHG Protocol. An AI assistant analyses entered data, flags gaps, and suggests concrete improvement measures, reducing the need for external consulting. All data can be exported to Excel and the final report can be previewed and downloaded as a PDF for distribution to investors, customers, or regulators. Unlimited user accounts allow entire teams or external partners such as auditors to collaborate within a single, auditable workspace.
Target Audience
Primary customers are non‑listed enterprises with fewer than 1,000 employees that need to produce VSME‑compliant ESG reports, including manufacturers, construction firms, and service providers, as well as accounting and consulting firms that prepare reports for multiple SME clients.
