Our Story

A New Path to Sustainability

Our journey began with a shared passion: making sustainability accessible for SMEs. After years of success in risk management software, we knew it was time for a new adventure. That's how Groene Otter was born—a platform designed to help SMEs simplify sustainability reporting, particularly through the VSME standard, while keeping the ultimate goal in sight: a more sustainable world.

With our experience in SaaS solutions and a strong belief in the power of technology, we create software that is not only smart but also enjoyable to use. Our goal? To help SMEs effortlessly measure their impact, report transparently, and achieve their sustainability objectives. Together with our customers, we make a difference step by step—clear, simple, and impactful.
