Five simple steps to get started with sustainability reporting:
In 2026, all small and mid-sized enterprises in the EU will be required to file sustainability reports under the new ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) standard. To assist you in adapting to the new directives, we have created a guide to help you get started.
1. Get up and running with Monitor ERP
To start reporting your sustainability, you need to start using Monitor ERP which is a standard system for manufacturing companies. You will have access to our free Sustainability by Monitor functionality which makes it easier for you to meet the new sustainability reporting standards.
2. Add data
To calculate your carbon footprint you need to add all current data to Sustainability by Monitor. Use existing sources within your company, such as supplier invoices. They may contain information such as energy consumption, emission levels and other relevant details which are needed to work out your carbon footprint.
3. Calculate
You can then sit back and let Monitor ERP do the hard work for you. Monitor ERP will calculate your products’ emissions down to component level, giving you a detailed overview of how your company’s operations affect the environment.
4. Analyze
Use the generated data to make the right decision in relation to your European sustainability reporting. You can identify areas where improvements need to be made and set goals to cut your environmental impact.
5. For more information
