Method for sustainable growth

Method for sustainable increased growth aims to increase growth and competitiveness in industry’s small and medium-sized enterprises in Kalmar and Gotland County through a greater focus on sustainability. The project will develop a digital tool based on a method for integrating sustainability aspects into companies’ business strategies. The tool shall generate an action plan for the implementation of the company’s priority sustainability aspects. The implementation is complemented by a tailor-made coaching for 16 companies in the target group. The intention is that the tool will make it easier for companies to take a first or next step in their sustainability work on their own and/or with the support of external parties. In the long term, the tool will contribute to effects such as making companies more attractive employers, increasing their knowledge of supply chains, taking greater stakeholder responsibility, reducing their greenhouse gas emissions and increasing their cost-effectiveness. The project partners have strengthened their trust capital as a supplier of knowledge in sustainability. Cooperation between business promoters has increased and competitiveness within the regions has been strengthened.
