Service Overview

ESG & VSME Sustainability assessments

Hospitality businesses today face growing expectations from regulators, guests, and investors to demonstrate genuine sustainability performance. But where do you begin, and how do you know you’re making measurable progress?

ESG Assessment

EcoHosp_EEP’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of your sustainability performance across all areas of your operation. Whether you manage a hotel, restaurant, beach house, or guesthouse, our assessment helps you: 

1. Understand Your Current Sustainability Footprint – Quick impact scan of your operations to identify environmental, social, and governance performance. 

2. Benchmark Against Global ESG Standards – Our assessment aligns with GRI, CSRD, EU Taxonomy, and SDGs, ensuring your sustainability practices meet internationally recognised frameworks. 

3. Identify Practical, High-Impact Improvement Areas – Pinpoint opportunities to reduce waste, optimise resource use, and enhance operational efficiency, while improving guest satisfaction and stakeholder confidence. Our goal goes beyond compliance or reporting. 

We make sustainability work for your business, helping you reduce waste, improve efficiency, enhance guest experience, and strengthen your reputation as a responsible and forward-looking hospitality brand..

VSME Assessment

The VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) is a European framework designed for enterprises outside the scope of the mandatory Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) but still subject to sustainability data requests from customers, banks, and value-chain partners. 

Typical MKB/SME criteria include: 

1. Fewer than 250 employees 

2. Annual turnover up to approximately €50 million 

3. Balance sheet total up to approximately €25 million (thresholds may vary contextually) 

The VSME Standard aims to: 

1. Enable SMEs to provide consistent, structured ESG information to larger enterprises and financial institutions in their supply chains. 

2. Strengthen transparency and prepare SMEs for future regulation and stakeholder expectations. 

3. Offer a “one-report-to-rule-them-all” approach, simplifying sustainability reporting and reducing the burden of multiple questionnaires. 

EcoHosp-EEP’s VSME Assessment helps smaller hospitality businesses align with this standard, ensuring they remain transparent, credible, and well-positioned for future sustainability requirements and opportunities.
