Best Practices in Sustainability by Peruvian MSMEs\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>features 33 case studies of businesses that have used sustainability as a competitive advantage. Ranging from improved waste management to savings in energy consumption, the examples share opportunities for MSMEs to incorporate sustainability practices into their core business strategy.<\/p>\nDeveloped with support from the Swiss Confederation State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), the publication aims to inspire other MSMEs and larger companies around the world, encouraging them to consider how sustainability reporting can be an important management and communication tool.<\/p>\n
\u201cMSMEs form the majority of businesses in Latin America and the world. Now more than ever, they are faced with challenges that put their economic survival at risk. By embracing sustainability, businesses can boost competitiveness and recover from the current crisis. It all starts with understanding impacts \u2013 on society, the economy and the environment \u2013 as enabled by reporting through the GRI Standards. As the examples shared by Peruvian MSMEs show, no business is too small to contribute towards a more sustainable future,\u201d Daniel Vargas Fernandez, GRI\u2019s Country Head in Peru, said.<\/p>\n
The companies that feature in this report are all participants in GRI\u2019s Corporate Sustainability and Reporting for Competitive Business (CSRCB) program. Since 2017 and with backing from SECO, this program has supported SMEs in six target countries; Colombia, Ghana, Indonesia, Peru, South Africa and Vietnam.<\/p>\n
The CSRCB program in Peru has supported more than 800 sustainability reports published by over 500 businesses and marked a 25% increase in the number of sustainability reports produced in 2020. In addition, some 1,100 MSMEs provided training in sustainability reporting.<\/p>\n
