Pressure on businesses to operate in a sustainable manner has never been greater. As general concern for such as environmental welfare accelerates, firms are expected to be more accountable for their actions. Corporate social responsibility must therefore be high on the agenda. Around 90 per cent of companies worldwide can be classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Statistics suggest that up to 70 per cent of global pollution is down to such firms. For many SMEs though, sustainability represents a formidable challenge. Limited finances and other resources are obvious impediments, while lack of knowledge is also commonly cited. Some small companies equate sustainability with high costs and give initiatives a wide berth on that basis.
The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
