Click here to access the DNK platform, where you can create your report free of charge in accordance with CSRD and VSME requirements (currently only available in German).
Create CSRD/VSME-compliant reportYou can access the previous Sustainability Code Database here. It will be available to you until November 2026 for the creation of reports.
Create a Sustainability Code reportSome companies choose to make their sustainability reports public. Here you will find examples of such reports. The first page is written in plain language. This is so that more people can understand the content better. The subsequent pages are not written in plain language.
Sustainability reporting is still a new topic for many companies. That’s why it is very important to learn from each other. Here you will find reports that have already been published based on the old DNK standard. From these, you can see how other companies deal with the topic of sustainability: you can compare different reports and pick up good ideas and solutions for your own reporting.
From 2026 onwards, this page will also include the first reports based on the new standards ESRS Set 1 and VSME.
Publishing them is optional: each company decides for themselves whether to make their report public.
