SME Sustainability Standards Navigation Toolkit
Empowering SMEs to navigate sustainability standards for competitive and sustainable trade.
The SME Toolkit is a user-friendly digital solution designed to help SMEs evaluate their readiness for certification, enhance awareness of sustainability standards, and adopt sustainable practices.
The Toolkit is currently in development, with its first module — the certification readiness module — built and ready to be tested by SMEs across multiple countries to ensure it meets user needs.
