Listen "Why SMEs Must Take Sustainability Seriously"
Episode Synopsis
How long can a business survive if its biggest customer decides it is too risky to keep?This episode of The Responsible Edge explores the new pressure facing small and medium-sized businesses. Sustainability is no longer a distant idea. Large organisations and public bodies now expect real evidence of environmental action, social value and strong governance. For many SMEs, the change is arriving faster than they expected.In this conversation, we look at why proof now matters more than promises. We explore how procurement teams check claims, what investors expect, and how the risks build when a single client controls most of a company’s revenue.This episode also explains how SMEs can take practical steps.• Build an honest carbon baseline• Create clear and simple policies• Understand supply-chain expectations• Protect key accounts through transparency• Use sustainability as a commercial advantageThe message is straightforward. Sustainability is becoming part of everyday business. It is not only about ethics. It is also about stability, competitiveness and the future of local communities.Watch now to understand why responsible action is now part of commercial survival.#Sustainability #ResponsibleBusiness #SMEs #Leadership #ESG #EthicalBusiness
