Sustainability reporting can help companies make more money. Sustainability Reporting for SMEs shows you how. Reporting, done well, requires a company to make public a set of promises that bind the company to its sustainability commitments. By adopting a transparent approach to both business practice and reporting, SMEs can gain a significant business advantage, establishing more effective internal processes and a commitment to reputation- and business-building along the way. Elaine Cohen provides guidance and tools for immediate actions that will improve the sustainability impacts of your company, and a process for reporting that goes beyond a printed or online worksheet. This book will help SMEs develop the "transparency habit," a vital tool for increasing revenue while contributing more proactively to the sustainability of our society and planet. Sustainability managers in larger organizations will find that the solutions in this book can be implemented in their own supply chains, which undoubtedly include several SMEs. Vital reading for SME owners and managers, entrepreneurs, business and sustainability students and teachers, and consultants.
