Whom do we help?

Large companies 

This applies to compabies that, for example, face stricter reporting requirements under the CSRD and increasing expectations for green transition, social responsibility, and governance.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) 

These may be companies that voluntarily wish to work with sustainability, for example through the EU’s VSME standard..

Our ESG and Sustainability

ESG Reporting

At Grant Thornton, we provide end-to-end sustainability advisory — from data collection and validation to a complete ESG report. Whether you need guidance, sparring, or a full reporting solution, our specialists are ready to assist.

Carbon Accounting

Grant Thornton helps you get started with carbon accounting, whether you run a small business or already have extensive ESG reporting processes in place.

Voluntary ESG Reporting (VSME)

Would your company like to take a more strategic approach to sustainability and ESG — without being subject to mandatory CSRD requirements? The VSME standard is an excellent place to start.

Mandatory ESG Reporting & CSRD Advisory

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) introduces extensive reporting requirements for all large companies in the EU — and later, for certain non-EU companies with operations in the EU.

Double Materiality Assessment

A double materiality assessment identifies how your company impacts the environment and society — and how external factors in turn impact your company.

Sustainability Strategy

We help you cut through the complexity and get off to a good start. You’ll gain insight into the requirements and opportunities — and the knowledge, competencies, and tools needed to turn sustainability ambitions into practical results.

FAQ

ESG stands for Environment, Social & Governance and covers environmental and climate-related aspects, social conditions, and governance practices.
ESG is a framework for structuring and documenting a company’s sustainability efforts.

Listed companies with more than 500 employees, and companies that meet two of the following three criteria for two consecutive years, are subject to CSRD reporting:

  • At least 250 employees
  • Turnover of DKK 391 million
  • Balance sheet total of DKK 195 million

From 2026, listed SMEs will also be covered by the CSRD.

An ESG report documents a company’s performance in environmental impact, social responsibility, and good governance. It provides insights into sustainability strategies, risk management, and corporate accountability — and is used to assess the company’s long-term value and impact on society and the environment.

Small and medium-sized enterprises are not legally required to prepare a sustainability report. Larger companies, however, are subject to the EU’s CSRD directive, which mandates ESG reporting.

Still, voluntary ESG reporting can be beneficial — when used strategically, it can strengthen your brand, stakeholder trust, and business performance.

VSME is the EU’s Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The VSME standard consists of two modules: a basic module and an extended module. Companies must first comply with the basic module and can then choose to complete selected parts — or all — of the extended module.
