Problem
Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face increasing demands from larger customers, banks, and investors to provide structured sustainability data, often under complex EU frameworks like CSRD and VSME. Traditional sustainability reporting requires expensive consultants and drains internal time, while the risk of reporting mistakes and inconsistent data collection creates a significant burden for companies with limited resources.
Solution
Format Green provides an all-in-one, automated sustainability reporting platform tailored for micro, small, and medium-sized companies. The platform guides users through a single flow—from the first question to a compliant sustainability report—generating not only the report itself but also policies, Codes of Conduct, and practical guides needed to put sustainability into action. It is based on recognized frameworks including the EU's VSME/VS standard and the GHG Protocol, and helps companies track progress year-on-year to prove improvement. The platform also supports external communication of sustainability work so progress does not remain hidden, and includes supply chain tracking to survey suppliers. With average completion times under two hours, Format Green replaces the need for expensive consultants and minimizes internal time spent chasing data.
Target Audience
Primary users are micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises with 1–250 employees (extending to 1,000 under the updated VS standard) across sectors such as construction, manufacturing, transport, IT, and retail, especially those needing to respond to sustainability data requests from larger customers, banks, or investors.
