Sustainability in SMEs
– creating value for you and others

Sustainability—an increasingly prominent term that is gaining importance for businesses of all sizes. But why is sustainability not only important, but also a clear value driver, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises like yours?

Attracting and retaining employees

Employees, particularly from younger generations, are placing greater value on working for companies that actively engage in sustainability. A sustainable corporate culture can therefore not only attract talent but also retain it in the long term.

Sustainability as a factor for investment decisions

Investors are increasingly considering sustainability criteria when making decisions. Companies that establish sustainable practices are more attractive to potential investors and can access long-term sources of capital.

Sustainability in the supply chain as a selection criterion

The supply chain is an area where sustainability is becoming ever more important. Companies are under growing pressure to demonstrate a sustainable supply chain in order to meet the expectations of customers and business partners.

Customer preferences for sustainable products and services

Customer expectations are changing—many now prefer products and services that are produced responsibly and sustainably. By aligning with sustainability, companies can strengthen their competitiveness and open up new market opportunities.

Competitive advantage through sustainable business practices

Companies that embrace sustainability not only benefit from a stronger image but also gain a clear competitive advantage over those that do not. Efficient use of resources and innovative solutions help reduce costs while strengthening market position.

What options do SMEs have to operate more sustainably?

The information sheet “Steps Toward Greater Sustainability – A Guide for SMEs” provides a clearly structured approach to advancing sustainability within your company.
