Green transformation through consulting projects

Heat waves, forest fires and droughts – climate change has already had precarious effects on people, the environment and also the business world. Public awareness of the climate emergency has never been higher. SMEs should not waste any more time and must reconsider how they are doing business and create climate-friendly business strategies. It’s an opportunity. Companies which adopt a green agenda and take action will be poised for success in future.  But do consultants have a role to play?

Last year, we successfully piloted the EBRD's Masterclasses for Consultants series, with some of our renowned experts and advisers. Now, we're excited to bring to you the next series of dedicated masterclasses, but this time with a special focus on "green for SMEs". This three-part series will tackle the key challenges SMEs have in "greening" their operations - from their business models to their supply chains -, the principles of circular economy, as well as the key role ESG standards play in fostering business resilience and longevity.  Throughout the series, consultants will learn how to address the scepticism amongst SMEs around sustainable practices and empower them to do their part for the environment and their own business.
