Omnibus Simplification - proposal

The European Commission proposes legislative relief, but what does that mean for SMEs?

The demand for voluntary reporting by SMEs is growing even more!

The European Commission has proposed the Omnibus Simplification reform, which would reduce the regulatory burden on businesses, especially in terms of sustainability reporting. If passed, the reform will significantly affect how SMEs report on their responsibility.

• The scope of application of the CSRD would be limited for SMEs
• SMEs could refuse information requests from larger companies
• VSME standards would become the main tool for reporting in companies with fewer than 1000 employees

Even if reporting obligations may become lighter, the need for sustainability information does not disappear. Large companies and financiers still demand information about their supply chains, and for SMEs, this could mean a new need for flexible and efficient reporting solutions.

Ailan's VSME reporting tool offers just that: a user-friendly and scalable solution that eases the management of sustainability information without heavy bureaucracy. If regulations become less stringent, it doesn't mean the end of reporting – but an opportunity for SMEs to leverage sustainability as a competitive advantage.
