From chaos to Clarity
The SME Playbook for smart sustainability strategies & reporting
A practical guide for companies that want to take steps towards sustainability and transparency.
Feeling lost in the world of ESG? You’re not alone.
Small and medium-sized businesses face rising expectations around sustainability — from customers, partners, and regulators.
But where do you start?
the sustainable link & co. and Mattmo Creative created this Playbook to help.
It’s a compact, practical guide that shows how to align your sustainability efforts with your business strategy — and communicate it clearly.
Why this matters now
Even if you’re not required to report under CSRD, your stakeholders still expect transparency. Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s a business differentiator. This Playbook helps you take the next step, wherever you’re starting from.
What you’ll get:
- A roadmap from strategy to reporting – start with business priorities, not just compliance
- A simple breakdown of the VSME standard – understand what matters for your size and scale
- Tips to avoid greenwashing – ensure your sustainability story is credible and clear
- Ideas for high-impact ‘Light Tower’ projects – show ESG progress with visible, strategic initiatives
