  • VSME LAUNCHPAD

Your big customers are asking about your ESG credentials.
Are you ready to answer? Getting started is free!

The Future Planet VSME Launchpad gives small and medium companies a structured way to gather, understand, and report their sustainability data — so you never lose business because of a question you couldn’t answer.

Supplier ESG questionnaires, scope 3 emissions requests, and sustainability due diligence checks are now standard practice across enterprise and public sector procurement. If you’re not prepared, you’re exposed.

The VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs) is a practical reporting framework designed specifically for businesses like yours. Getting your data aligned to VSME means you can respond to buyer requests with confidence, protect existing contracts, and compete for new ones.

The VSME Launchpad is your free starting point — no jargon, no complexity, just a clear picture of where you stand and what to do next.

The VSME Launchpad is built for SMEs that:

  • Supply products or services to large enterprises or public sector buyers
  • Have received — or expect to receive — ESG or sustainability questionnaires from customers
  • Want to get their sustainability data in order before it becomes a contract issue
  • Are unsure where to start with ESG reporting and want expert guidance, not generic templates

Now you can get started for free with Future Planet with the VSME Launchpad.

WHAT YOU GET — FREE Every Launchpad participant receives:

  • Online VSME Assessment — A structured snapshot of your current sustainability position, mapped directly to the data your buyers are most likely to ask for.
