We have released a new visualized preview view that further facilitates the preparation of sustainability reporting, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The update is part of Aila's digital VSME tool, which supports SMEs in meeting sustainability requirements.

With this view, it is possible to examine ESG data in a clear and easily comprehensible form before sharing the actual report. The visualized preview provides a condensed and visual overview of the report's content: clear graphs, summaries, and tables make the report quickly understandable even for those who are not previously familiar with ESG reporting or EU sustainability directives (such as CSRD and ESRS).

Why is this important?

Many SMEs still find sustainability reporting laborious and obscure. At Aila, we want to lower the threshold for both preparing the report and utilizing it as part of business operations and communication with stakeholders. As EU sustainability reporting requirements become stricter, smaller companies also need practical tools.

The visualized preview makes the report:

• Reader-friendly: not just a mass of text, but illustrated highlights and summaries of ESG themes.
• Ready for review: you can easily find any deficiencies or errors before the final publication or sharing, for example with accounting firms, clients, or financiers.

The new view is part of Aila's ongoing development work, which aims to make sustainability work smoother, more understandable, and more impactful, especially for VSME companies – that is, for those small operators who want to act responsibly and transparently.
