Getting started on your sustainability transition
Your sustainable journey
Taking the first step on your journey to becoming a more sustainable business can be challenging. The top barriers to action for SMEs include:
- Cost, with 39% of those surveyed specifying insufficient budget, high cost or low return on investment.
- 36% said it's difficult to reduce emissions outside their own operations.
- 30% said it's hard to measure environmental impact.
But despite these barriers, the rewards can be great. Reducing your environmental impact can ultimately help you reduce costs, improve your reputation, retain staff, and even boost your bottom line.
