March is globally dedicated to B Corp Month. A time when companies that consciously focus on creating positive impact are given extra visibility. For us at PKF BOFIDI, this is also the moment to reflect on what sustainability truly means today and, above all, how we put it into practice every single day in our daily operations. For us, sustainability is not a theoretical concept. It is not about reporting or obligations, but about conscious choices. Every single day. Choices that contribute to a future oriented company that creates long term value for our clients, our people and society at large.

Sustainability is no longer a vague concept. With the European rules on ESG reporting (Environmental, Social & Governance), the playing field is changing for good. Large companies already publish figures about their impact on the environment, people, and governance. For SMEs, this may still seem far off, but nothing could be further from the truth. Imagine: in 2026, you want to apply for a loan to expand your business. Through the new KUBE ESG platform, your bank will ask for some basic sustainability data. How much energy do you use? What about your CO₂ emissions? How do you treat your employees? In other words: ESG is closer than you think.

At PKF BOFIDI, we believe that sustainable business is no longer a choice but an evident responsibility. Today, we take another important step: our colleagues receive their fully electric cars. A visible step, literally on the road, in our broader ESG story where ecology, social responsibility, and good governance are central.

We are proud to announce that PKF BOFIDI is officially a B Corp. This certificate is awarded to companies that have a measurable positive impact on people, the environment, and society. This confirms that we not only strive for financial success but also prioritize sustainability and ethical business practices.

Many SMEs are finding that sustainability is becoming an increasingly important theme, both for customers and for banks and investors. But how do you report on this without being tied to complex obligations like large companies? This is where VSME comes in: a simple, standardized way to share sustainability information, with direct benefits for financing and market position.
