Na základě požadavku coordinátora projektu SDA Bocconi Scholl of Management byla v rámci smlouvy o spolupráci zpracována část za Českou republiku. Bílá kniha má  využívat údaje a postřehy založené na nejrelevantnější akademické literatuře, jakož i na mezinárodních zprávách a studiích a národních zdrojích informací z osmi vybraných zemí: Itálie, Španělska, Německa, Francie, Rakouska, Švýcarska, Maďarska, a Česká republika.

Obsah: Řešitelé zpracovali “Desk Research” do Reportu o délce 26 stran, který obsahoval požadované informace z oblastí:

  1. Involving SMEs in the sustainability agenda is paramount, due to their economic and social relevance, as well as for their participation in (national and international) value chains.
  2. SMEs rarely use the language of corporate sustainability to describe their activities. They adopt informal strategies, aimed at securing their license to operate.
  3. Institutional, organizational, and individual factors prevent SMEs from adopting sustainability strategies and developing environmental and social initiatives.
  4. Three pillars contribute to define sustainable European SMEs: welfare initiatives towards employees, circular economy and energy efficiency, and community engagement.
  5. Sustainability-related benefits can be revenue-related (e.g. growth, competitive positioning and increase of margins, access to markets) as well as cost-related (e.g. operational efficiency, cost of capital).
  6. Tailored instruments and support on “material” issues are needed to overcome obstacles that prevent SMEs from being sustainable, and foster their full potential.
  7. Institutions and policy makers, as well as the private sector, including large enterprises and financial companies, need to support and assist SMEs in their journey to sustainability.
