VSME Baseline and ImpactReport

When working with sustainability data in Valified, you have two options for documenting your data based on VSME: a Baseline and an ImpactReport. But when does it make sense to use each? Read more here

Baseline – A Foundation for Data Sharing

The Baseline is a tool that provides an overview of your sustainability data. It is primarily useful in situations where you need to share your data with external stakeholders, such as:

  • Banks and financial institutions that require documentation of sustainability efforts.

With a Baseline, you can easily and efficiently share your sustainability data, but it is not designed to provide deeper insights or support dialogues with stakeholders.

ImpactReport – When Sustainability Data Needs to Be Presented Professionally

While the Baseline is a simple data extract, the ImpactReport is a tool that helps you present your sustainability data in a professional and insightful way. With the ImpactReport, you can:

  • Customize your report with your own images, comments, and context.

  • Visualize your data in a clear and comprehensible layout.

  • Support strategic dialogues with investors, customers, and partners.

The ImpactReport is ideal in situations where you need to present your sustainability data in a meaningful context, such as:

  • Board meetings or investor meetings, where a professional presentation of data is crucial.

  • Discussions with customers or partners who request a detailed sustainability report.

  • Public or internal reports, where you want to showcase your company’s efforts and progress.

Conclusion

The Baseline is a great starting point, but if you want to ensure that your sustainability data creates real value and is actively used in your business, the ImpactReport is a must. It not only helps you share numbers – it creates understanding, engagement, and credibility around your company’s sustainability efforts.
