VSME Preparation

Structure available evidence against the voluntary SME reporting standard — conservatively and progressively.

Start — not yet availableAbout this capability
Foundation — in development

Who it is for — and what you will need

SMEs preparing voluntary sustainability disclosures.

  • Company scope
  • The applicable VSME module
  • Data not already in the ESG record

Anything OrenAtlas already knows is prefilled with its evidence state — you are asked only for what is missing or unresolved.

How it works

5 stages. Save and resume at any point; each stage keeps its evidence attached to the exact item it supports.

  1. Company scope

    Applicable VSME module selected.

    in development
    Stage details
    What OrenAtlas already knows
    Company scope; module options
    What you provide
    VSME module selection (required) — Bounds required metrics/disclosures
    Evidence used
    No evidence collected at this stage.
    What happens
    Module recorded
    If something is missing
    Undecided module blocks with guidance, not guesses.
    Done when
    Module fixed.
    What comes next
    VSME scope.
  2. Metrics

    Required metrics/disclosures; existing ESG data reused — no second sustainability dataset.

    in development
    Stage details
    What OrenAtlas already knows
    Required metrics/disclosures with existing ESG data prefilled — if ESG already contains the metric, it is NOT asked again
    What you provide
    Nothing — OrenAtlas assembles this stage.
    Evidence used
    ESG program data. Reuse: Full reuse; no second sustainability dataset.
    What happens
    Coverage derives from reused ESG data
    If something is missing
    Missing items become owned, actionable tasks (request evidence / assign owner) — never a dead warning.
    Done when
    Coverage mapped.
    What comes next
    Module coverage map.
  3. Gaps

    Missing data and evidence identified.

    in development
    Stage details
    What OrenAtlas already knows
    Missing metrics as tasks
    What you provide
    Missing values + evidence (if applicable) — Close module gaps; values flow into the ESG dataset
    Evidence used
    Same categories as ESG collect. Reuse: New values land in the ESG program dataset.
    What happens
    Tasks owned
    If something is missing
    Missing items become owned, actionable tasks (request evidence / assign owner) — never a dead warning.
    Done when
    Gaps completed or accepted open.
    What comes next
    Completed gap work.
  4. Review

    Human review.

    in development
    Stage details
    What OrenAtlas already knows
    Per-metric states
    What you provide
    Review decisions (required) — Confirm coverage states
    Evidence used
    No evidence collected at this stage.
    What happens
    No formal compliance claim
    If something is missing
    Missing stays explicit.
    Done when
    Review complete.
    What comes next
    Reviewed state.
  5. Preparation Pack

    VSME Preparation Pack — no formal compliance claim.

    in development
    Stage details
    What OrenAtlas already knows
    Everything above
    What you provide
    Nothing — OrenAtlas assembles this stage.
    Evidence used
    No evidence collected at this stage.
    What happens
    Versioned; no compliance claim; next actions present
    If something is missing
    Open items listed.
    Done when
    Versioned VSME Preparation Pack generated.
    What comes next
    VSME Preparation Pack (versioned) → back to ESG program.

What you receive: VSME Preparation Pack

A versioned result — not just a PDF. It preserves:

The VSME category exists in the evidence model; module mapping and workspace are specified but not yet built.

Where this hands off next

Your case context (company, product, market, requirement) travels with you — nothing is re-selected.
