Webinar: The Advantages and Challenges for Small Businesses in Sustainability

Session Overview

Most sustainable business advice is geared towards large corporations, with the complexity, resources, influence, and priorities inherent to them. This ignores the situations specific to small businesses who are plenty motivated but left out of sustainable business conversations. This session will focus on the challenges faced by small businesses in sustainability and the advantages they have in solving the major issues of today.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the current barrier to small enterprises in sustainable business spaces
• Understand how small businesses are able to approach sustainability through their own natural strengths
• Articulate how this applies to the attendee’s business, clients, or peers.
