Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) substantially contribute to global environmental and social problems. Management methods exist, which can reduce these negative contribu-tions. However, only few SMEs apply these methods. This project therefore aims at increasing the application of effective sustainability management methods in SMEs, to reduce their con-tribution to global environmental and social problems. This aim is followed by developing and implementing an interactive workshop format among SMEs as well as by setting up train-the-trainer workshops.
The project is funded by the GCSO and conducted together with Nicole Darnall (Arizona State University) and Bryan Husted (EGADE Business School, Tecnológico de Monterrey).
