The VSME: why many companies struggle and how to get it right
In the summer of 2025, we released ImpactOS with supply chain capabilities. While many would call this a launch, for us it marked the starting line of a much longer and more demanding race. The platform represents the culmination of nearly two years of focused development and the tangible result of the trust, investment, and belief placed in us along the way. Since that moment, the pace has only accelerated. Today, ImpactOS is the leading platform in the world offering free tools that enable businesses to use their sustainability data in ways that genuinely make a difference. It is also the only platform enabling primary sustainability data generation at scale, free for any business willing to measure and share real performance. This is no small feat, and the journey has been intense, occasionally exhausting, but deeply rewarding.
If this year has taught us anything, it is that change is constant. The regulatory landscape has shifted repeatedly, sometimes gently and sometimes in ways that have shaken long built foundations. For many organisations, this has created uncertainty and hesitation. For me, it has been a relief to see the conversation move away from what must be reported and toward what must be done. Sustainability data is increasingly valued not for the documents it ends up in, but for the decisions it enables. Regulations will continue to evolve in 2026 and beyond. What does not change is that organisations that start now will be better prepared for whatever tomorrow brings.
Although we are building a technology platform and make use of AI, ImpactOS has always been about people. This year, our organisation evolved significantly, and our network of partners, investors, advisors, and collaborators expanded in meaningful ways. I have been privileged to work with an exceptional team and to meet people who challenge our thinking, strengthen our direction, and share our ambition. Platforms do not create change on their own. People do, by working together.
As we look toward 2026, we do so with energy, optimism, and a long list of exciting things to do. We are eager to continue developing ImpactOS and helping organisations turn sustainability data into understanding and value. Before doing so, it feels important to pause and say thank you. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. We wish you, your teams, and your families a sustainable, successful, and strong year ahead.
