WHAT IS NSRS?
A sustainability reporting tool with the small ones in mind
EFRAG has developed a voluntary sustainability reporting tool for non-listed micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (VSMEs), as requested by the European Commission.
The NSRS Board supports the objective of uniting the market around a common standard for small and medium-sized enterprises. The NSRS tool has now been updated in line with the voluntary standard, while retaining certain Nordic voluntary reporting elements.
The NSRS tool and accompanying guidance are provided free of charge by the Nordic Accountant Federation.
“Our tool will be based on the VSME standard, but we will keep some Nordic voluntary reporting points in line with information that we think is valuable to users, stakeholders and those reporting. The tool and guidance will continue to be free of charge, and an instruction adapted to the different Nordic countries will be added”
