2/17/2020

 
Actually a lot - but we hope you knew that already.  As presented in a report here on SME Academy web site the impact of the Micro Sized and Small businesses is huge - and adding also the middle sized to it - it is really understandable how important it is to support the start up and growth of new enterprises - in every single European Country.

Entrepreneurs Climate Guide - by Federation of Finnish enterprises

2/12/2020

 
As SMEs can often feel puzzled about the concrete measures they can do regarding climate change, we in FFE wanted to create them a free and practical guide:  Entrepreneur’s Climate Change Guide - 80 ways to fight climate change

Press release - Climate guide
Access the Entrepreneurs Climate Guide
In the guide we present simple methods an entrepreneur can use to tackle climate change in their daily business operations. We remind entrepreneurs that taking the environment into account can be a competitive advantage and make their business stand out. It can be the road to better, more profitable business. The decisions of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) truly matter in the climate change battle. We realized that there was not much advice written from this perspective, so we decided to make it available in English too.
 
The English version of the guide can be downloaded for free at: https://climatechange.yrittajat.fi/
 
It is free for all entrepreneurs in Europe and outside.
