What does VSME+ mean?

Short answer: VSME+ refers to the application of both VSME modules (Basic and Comprehensive) plus additional company-specific metrics or disclosures[19].

With the VSME+ approach, companies meet the requirements of both the Basic and Comprehensive modules and extend them with additional indicators to cover specific stakeholder expectations or industry-specific characteristics[19]. The "+" stands for data points that go beyond the standard – for example, voluntary metrics on diversity or industry-specific topics that the company considers relevant.
