From a customer with more than 1,000 employees, under the value-chain cap
Customer questionnaire
Since 3 July 2026, a CSRD-obligated customer may not demand more from a supplier under 1,000 employees than the VSME standard requires. The request has a legal ceiling, and the ledger answers within it.

Answer it once, reuse it
The point of a ledger rather than a spreadsheet is that this request and the next one come out of the same records. Answering a customer questionnaire is most of the work of answering an EcoVadis assessment, a bank annex and a tender clause, because the figures, the method and the evidence are already assembled and already traceable.
