Which VSME software tools exist beyond the EFRAG template?
Short answer: Beyond the official Excel template, several software options exist, such as Tanso, MasterSustainability, and Zevero; companies should choose between a low-cost template and a full solution with support, CO₂ accounting, and multi-standard mapping[38][58].
Tanso offers a platform that supports both VSME and CSRD reporting, including data tagging and GRI compatibility[58]. MasterSustainability provides guided data entry and automatic report generation for VSME[38]. Zevero and other vendors are developing similar tools. Companies should decide whether a simple template is enough or whether they need a broader solution with support, CO₂ calculations, and mapping to multiple standards.
