Sustainable SMEs
Sustainability reporting enhancing SMEs' market reach, competitiveness, and sustainable growth
What we do
Large & listed companies in the European Union must include comprehensive sustainability report (ESG report) along with financial statements. This requires ESG documentation from all supply chain operators, also SMEs. This challenges SMEs entrepreneurial capacities.
There are many initiatives to develop solutions (e.g. tools and best practices) to assist SMEs in reporting. However, SMEs have challenges to know about them and they need support to take them up.
Therefore, the Sustainable SMEs project enhances SMEs’ understanding about the reporting and the sustainability transition as a whole. It encourages SMEs to test and develop sustainability reporting solutions in collaboration with other SMEs. The project also disseminates sustainability reporting knowledge and solutions across the NPA area.
