Does this already affect your business?
SMEs are increasingly required to act — through customer pressure, national legislation and EU supply chain rules. Does any of these apply to you?
Your UK customers are asking for ESG information
Large UK companies subject to the Modern Slavery Act, TCFD and the upcoming UK Sustainability Disclosure Standards are already asking their suppliers for ESG information. If you supply UK companies with 250+ employees, expect a questionnaire.

The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires large EU companies to report on their entire supply chain — including all suppliers. From 2026, your EU customers will need your ESG data for their own mandatory reports.

The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) requires companies with 1,000+ employees in Germany to conduct annual due diligence on their suppliers. If you supply German manufacturers, distributors or industrial companies, expect questionnaires, codes of conduct and evidence requests.

California's SB 253 requires companies with over $1 billion in California revenue to report Scope 3 emissions — meaning they will ask their suppliers for data. If your customers include large US companies, they will come to you.

Why a subscription?
ESG compliance is not a project.
It is an ongoing obligation.
Many SMEs assume they can hire a consultant once, become compliant, and move on. In practice, the obligation resets every year — and the requirements keep rising.
Annual recertification
Most enterprise customers require suppliers to resubmit ESG questionnaires annually or renew certifications. A score that was sufficient in 2026 may fall below a buyer's rising threshold in 2027.
Rising buyer requirements
Buyers subject to CSRD or LkSG tighten their own standards year on year — and pass those requirements down the supply chain. Standing still means falling behind.
New contracts, new assessments
Every new tender or framework agreement triggers a new ESG assessment. Buyers increasingly evaluate ESG alongside price and quality. A compliance gap between contracts costs you the business.
Rolling regulatory cycles
Modern Slavery Act statements, TCFD reports and CSRD disclosures operate on annual cycles. Missing a cycle creates a gap that must be remedied before the next — there is no 'done once' in regulatory compliance.
