Welcome to the SME Readiness Tool
Measure What Matters. Build What Lasts.
Empowering small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to assess, improve, and report on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance—aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and global reporting standards.
Introducing the Readiness assessment tool – a simple digital tool that measures your company’s ESG maturity level. It’s applicable to companies of all sizes and sectors and asks binary yes/no questions on 8 ESG indicators aligned with global and local frameworks.
​
By completing the assessment, you’ll receive an ESG report that shows your company’s ESG maturity level, a peer comparison, and maps your readiness level with the SDGs. This report serves as an easy entry into sustainability reporting and helps SMEs communicate their ESG performance.​
But that’s not all. The ESG report can be shared with corporate buyers, bankers, and financiers because they often request ESG data. Plus, completing the assessment can entitle you to sustainability incentives.
A Smarter Way to Start Your Sustainability Journey
Understand the full journey in 90 seconds—from account creation to final report generation. Built to be accessible, intuitive, and impactful, whether you’re just starting or scaling your ESG commitment.
