"6 Min. to understand": SMEs, the great forgotten of the ecological transition?
Do SMEs really have a place in the sustainable transition ?
In this episode of 6 Minutes to Understand, Pierre Léonard dismantles preconceived ideas and puts small and medium-sized businesses back at the center of the game.
Often perceived as too small, too overwhelmed, or ill-informed to engage in sustainable approaches, SMEs account for 40% of private sector emissions. But they also have the potential, flexibility and local impact to become the drivers of the ecological transition.
Limited resources? Yes, but not without solutions.
Pierre shares concrete cases, a simple 3-step method, and levers of action that are immediately profitable.
Recruitment, retention, financing, competitiveness, public procurement: the benefits are numerous for SMEs that are getting ahead.
This podcast is a clear and motivating call to action for all leaders who want to contribute to a sustainable economy without sacrificing profitability.
With a powerful quote from Margaret Mead as a conclusion, this episode highlights what many forget:
"SMEs are not the problem... They are a big part of the solution."
