Mid Cap reporting template: structure and content of ESG reporting for small and medium-sized companies

The Mid Cap framework offers a structured ESG reporting framework, designed for mid-sized companies wishing to formalize the communication of their extra-financial performance. It is based on European standards (ESRS), while offering an adapted level of complexity, enabling ESG information to be structured around key sustainability issues.

This page presents an anonymized model inspired by a real report, to illustrate the structure and information expected in a Mid Cap report.

Mid Cap is not an official benchmark, but a framework developed by the WeAreEurope association based on feedback from companies in the field.
