Which VSME tools are suitable for which company sizes?

Short answer: Small SMEs benefit from simple, automated tools like GoClimate or Eevery; medium-sized companies choose flexible platforms like Greenly or Plan A; large organizations with their own sustainability teams can use complex solutions like Normative or Position Green[96].

According to GoClimate, small or inexperienced companies can create a VSME-compliant report with their tool in just a few hours – including automatic emissions calculation and pre-filled data[82]. Eevery is similarly user-friendly and, according to Greenly, is particularly suitable for companies with low internal ESG capacity. Greenly offers more flexibility and KPI monitoring, but requires manual input and ESG knowledge[97]. Plan A is primarily intended for medium-sized companies with broader ESG goals; it covers multiple frameworks but also requires internal resources[98]. Normative and Position Green target larger companies: they offer comprehensive emissions models and modular ESG features, but are more expensive and require internal expertise[99]. Companies should therefore choose a tool that fits both their data volume and internal competencies.
