Sustainability report straight from Bokio
Washproof connects to Bokio with read-only access, finds the invoices for electricity, heating and fuel, and produces a sustainability report under VS (formerly VSME). Every figure in the report traces back to its voucher in Bokio.

The access token is stored encrypted and is only used to fetch source data for the report. When you remove the connection, Washproof stops reading.
FAQ
What does it cost?
The price depends on company size and is shown on the start page. You build the report in the tool, and the Bokio connection is included.
What about invoices without a quantity?
Washproof then converts the amount with an average price from a published source. The row is marked as estimated in the report and in the traceability file.
Can my accounting firm set up the connection?
Yes. Anyone who can sign in to the company in Bokio can approve the connection, and the firm can be invited to the company in Washproof.
Which parts of VS are covered by the books?
The climate section (B3) and company information (B1) for the most part. Employees, accidents, training hours, waste and policies (B2, B7–B10) you enter yourself with the guide.
