ESG reporting that works.
Collect ESG data with AI, analyze performance, automate calculations and deliver an Audit-Ready report to support your internal and external ESG communication.
Built for European SMEs reporting under the VSME Basic Standard (EFRAG) — replace Excel with audit-grade workflows.
ESG Software Platform
Smart data, automated reporting
Spreadsheets that don't scale
You started with Excel. Now you have 12 files, 5 locations, 3 people sending different numbers — and a report due next week.
Your partners are asking. You're not ready.
Financing, grants, and supplier contracts increasingly require ESG data. When the request comes, you need a report — not a process.
Reports that don't survive scrutiny
A PDF summary is not an ESG report. Auditors and regulators need documented methodology, emission factors, and a verifiable data trail.
ESGdesk™ eliminates all three challenges.
One platform to collect, calculate, and report your ESG data — audit-ready, regulator-proof, and built for how your team actually works.
How It Works
ESGdesk™ automates the entire ESG reporting workflow — so you can focus on running your business, not chasing spreadsheets.
AI-Supported Data Entry
Upload utility bills and invoices. Our AI scanner extracts energy, water, and waste data automatically. Health & safety, employment, and financial data are entered manually through guided forms.
Automatic Calculations
Carbon footprint, renewable energy share, and performance analytics are computed instantly using GHG Protocol methodology — across all your locations, with country-specific emission factors. The methodology dataset is revised and updated annually by ESGdesk based on the latest available sources.
Report Preview & AI Summary
Review your complete ESG report with all collected data, interactive charts, and an AI-generated executive summary — refine everything in real time before you export the final version.

Understanding VSME, ESG & CSRD
A practical overview for business leaders
What is VSME?
EFRAG's voluntary standard for SMEs.
The VSME Basic Standard is EFRAG's voluntary sustainability reporting framework for European SMEs. ESGdesk implements all 11 B-module disclosures (B1–B11) of the VSME Basic Standard.
What is ESG?
A management framework for risk, cost, and performance.
ESG structures how your company measures energy use, workforce data, safety, and governance — across all locations, in one system.
What is CSRD?
A regulatory requirement with operational impact.
CSRD requires structured, auditable ESG data. Fragmented spreadsheets increase risk. ESGdesk centralizes your ESG data and supports structured environmental reporting.
Why it matters
Risk reduction, transparency, and investor confidence.
Accurate ESG data reduces compliance risk, improves credibility with investors and banks, and supports long-term business decisions.
Team Coordination
Clear ownership, no data chaos.
Admins control locations, roles, and reporting years. Contributors enter data only where assigned. Progress and gaps are visible in real time.
Data Analysis
Reliable data for leadership decisions.
From structured data collection to internal reporting and insights. Gain a clear, consistent view — from raw ESG data to actionable reports.
Built for Growing Organizations
ESGdesk™ is built for companies that outgrew spreadsheets but don't need enterprise complexity. From your first VSME-aligned report to Audit-Ready output — at a price that makes sense for your size.
