EFRAG Releases Educational Video on VSME Digital Template
EFRAG has published a new educational video demonstrating the use of the VSME Digital Template and the Template to XBRL Converter, further supporting the digitalisation of sustainability reporting for SMEs.
The video guides stakeholders through the key features of the VSME Digital Template, an Excel-based tool designed to simplify and support SMEs in preparing sustainability reports in accordance with the VSME Standard, published by EFRAG on 17 December 2025. Key functionalities include interactive checkboxes, automatic calculations, built-in validations, intuitive navigation using hyperlinks, a fuel converter, and input messages designed to assist the undertakings when completing the template.
The video also illustrates how the completed template can be seamlessly converted into a structured, machine-readable format using the Template to XBRL Converter. This open-source tool, developed by the EFRAG Secretariat, enables the generation of a fully tagged Inline XBRL report, ensuring compliance with the VSME XBRL Taxonomy and facilitating digital data exchange without the need for manual tagging.
These videos have been AI-translated into the following languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, and Finnish.
All resources, including the template, explanatory notes, the source code and demo files, are available for download on the VSME Digital Template and XBRL Taxonomy webpage.
