Start on Sustainability project, a program designed to help Europe’s small businesses adopt environmentally friendly practices. Our aim is to provide knowledge, tools, and support to make sustainability a practical reality for these vital contributors to the EU economy.
Objectives of the project
The following Objectives are being addressed in the project:
Increase the awareness and understanding of micro-enterprises on sustainable business practices through the Sustainability Starter Kit (WP2), which includes a Sustainability and SDGs Explainer, Good Practice Case Studies, and FAQs. By introducing sustainability concepts and demystifying jargon, the kit showcases successful micro-businesses, highlighting economic and societal benefits while motivating owners to embark on their sustainability journey. https://startonsustainability.eu/resources/start-on-sustainability-educational-resources/
Increase the knowledge and skills of micro-enterprises in identifying relevant sustainability issues specific to their organisations and defining action plans through the Action Plan App(WP3). This innovative digital tool allows owners to assess their organisation’s current situation, reflecting and prioritising aspects to address. The app generates tailored action plans to motivate them to tackle pertinent sustainability issues. https://thevisionworks.brilliantassessments.com/?external=SOS
