Why climate and nature matter to every business
58 trillion dollars of global GDP - is highly or moderately dependent on nature.
Climate Agenda
The climate agenda is now significantly impacting SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises). Industry associations and employer organizations are experiencing a significant increase in inquiries about climate consulting and reporting.
This is, of course, due to the increased focus from companies that want to contribute to the green transition and prioritize their social responsibility. But to an equally high degree, it is the recently adopted legislation that makes it mandatory for larger companies to conduct climate reporting.
In the end, this legislation will mean that SMEs will face the same requirements if they want to continue to be suppliers to large companies. Furthermore, everyone agrees that CO2 taxes are on the way and will likely have a broad impact, affecting the supply chains of all SMEs.
