EFRAG and the European Commission are organising a hybrid event on 9 October 2026 to discuss the Voluntary Standard Delegated Act for small and medium-sized enterprises. The session takes place from 10:00 to 12:15 CEST and examines how sustainability reporting changes affect SMEs across Europe.
Key Focus Areas and Programme Features
The workshop focuses on the transition from the VSME Recommendation to the Voluntary Standard Delegated Act and its practical implications for non-listed small and medium-sized enterprises.
Attendees will review EFRAG implementation guidance and digital tools, alongside practical experiences from companies applying sustainability reporting. The session includes insights from the European Enterprise Network and concludes with an open question-and-answer segment.
