The team at CreditLogic recently completed the EcoVerify Academy of Sustainability: Voluntary Sustainability Reporting for Micro and Small Enterprises (VSME Standard) training programme, a significant step in their sustainability journey. Tailored specifically for small and micro businesses, the VSME programme equips participants with the practical tools and frameworks needed to produce clear, credible ESG disclosures. Through the training, CreditLogic gained hands-on experience with both Basic and Comprehensive levels of reporting, learned how to navigate stakeholder expectations and materiality, and explored simplified approaches to greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and sustainability strategy. Their successful completion of the programme reflects a growing commitment to climate-conscious innovation and reinforces their role as a responsible fintech provider in Ireland’s evolving sustainability landscape.
The VSME training completed by CreditLogic covered the full sustainability reporting journey for micro and small enterprises, from foundational ESG disclosures to more advanced reporting aligned with EU expectations. It included practical guidance on GHG emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), stakeholder engagement, double materiality, and preparing for independent assurance under the VSME framework.
This training programme is designed to equip micro and small enterprises with the knowledge and tools needed to voluntarily report their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance in a credible and proportionate way. The course supports SMEs at any stage of their sustainability journey, with scalable reporting approaches that align with the principles of the CSRD while remaining practical and accessible.
