Who is ESG Lift designed for?

ESG Lift is tailored for SMEs and mid-sized companies with 1 to 1,000 employees looking to draft a VS-compliant sustainability report – whether voluntarily (for banking, customer relations, or recruitment) or to meet supply chain requirements. No prior experience in ESG reporting or sustainability disclosure is required.

What sets ESG Lift apart from other solutions?

Unlike generic ESG platforms, ESG Lift is specifically designed for the VS standard and tailored to German SMEs. It avoids the overhead of complex CSRD features that SMEs do not require, eliminating the need for expensive consultants. The platform is optimised for self-service, allowing SMEs to initiate their ESG reporting journey independently.
