Problem
European SMEs face increasing pressure to comply with complex EU sustainability regulations such as CSRD, ESRS, and PPWR, yet many lack the expertise, tools, and resources to assess their exposure and demonstrate credible sustainability performance to large buyers, banks, and partners.
Solution
SOS provides a SaaS-based Sustainability Operating System that first diagnoses a company’s regulatory exposure and current sustainability maturity, delivering a scored “Maturity Passport.” The platform then supplies a digital handbook, ready‑to‑use templates, and continuous regulatory updates, allowing firms to implement the required measures step‑by‑step. Ongoing specialist support and auditable documentation enable SMEs to prove compliance to clients and financial institutions, turning regulatory pressure into a market advantage. All components are accessible through a single subscription, with optional standalone tools for companies that prefer a modular approach.
Target Audience
Primary customers are European small and medium‑sized enterprises that supply larger firms or seek financing and need to meet EU sustainability reporting and product‑level requirements.
