Scope

Broader Reporting Scope

While the VSME standard defines the disclosure requirement quite narrowly—focusing only on convictions and fines related to anti-corruption and anti-bribery—Selko Report goes further. We request users to report any fines or convictions related to sustainability themes, including environmental violations, employee rights, tax compliance, and other relevant areas. This broader approach provides a more comprehensive picture of the undertaking’s legal compliance across all sustainability dimensions.
