The Green Action Plan for SMEs, created in July 2014, is intended to support small and medium-sized companies to turn environmental challenges into business opportunities. The Green Action Plan sets a series of objectives and corresponding actions which can be grouped in five thematic areas:
- Greening SMEs for more competitiveness and sustainability
- Greening entrepreneurship for the companies of the future
- Opportunities for SMEs in a greener value chain
- Access to the markets for green SMEs
- Governance
The objective of this course is to help SMEs understand the benefits of green business practices and offer you a simple framework for greening your business. This course intends to help SMEs realise how green business strategies can result in competitive advantage for them. Consequently, this would help transform what are today’s cost burdens into strategic investments for tomorrow. The central argument of the course is that businesses must recognize the value arising out of the firm’s environmental impact and strategically position itself to gain competitive advantages.
