Description
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a key role in achieving the green transition. They drive innovation, develop new green technologies and solutions, and enable the dissemination of these solutions throughout the economy and society. Yet many SMEs face challenges in adopting and integrating sustainable practices into their operations, due to limited access to external financing, insufficient internal capacity and perceived high risk of sustainability investments.
Public and private actors are stepping up to help SMEs accelerate their transition. This session will explore how financial and non-financial support instruments for sustainability can be tailored to address the unique needs of SMEs. It will feature new work by the OECD Platform on Financing SMEs for Sustainability on scaling up innovative and good practices in the provision of public financial and non-financial support for SMEs.
