How much time does creating a VSME report take?

Short answer: Depending on the organization’s size, the process takes 4–12 weeks; digital tools can reduce the time required by 10–30%[107][108].

Consultancy Xcellence Partners estimates that responding to an ESG request without a standardized process takes about 60 working days[109]. With the VSME and software support, this drops to under 10 working days—an 80% time saving[110]. Experts generally assume a VSME report can be prepared in 4 to 12 weeks, depending on data availability, internal coordination, and the tool used[107]. Digital platforms can further cut the time required by 10–30%[108].
