A sustainability strategy makes sense regardless of company size. The decisive factor is not the number of employees, but the extent to which a company is affected by sustainability requirements, market and customer expectations, as well as risks and opportunities within its own business model.
Small and medium-sized enterprises are also under increasing pressure, for example from the requirements of customers, business partners, or investors. Sustainability is being requested more frequently, whether in the context of tenders, business relationships, or financing processes. A clearly structured sustainability strategy helps to address these expectations in a targeted manner and to manage sustainability systematically rather than just selectively.
For larger companies, the need for priorities and responsibilities increases with the growing complexity of the organization. This is where the benefit of a holistic strategy becomes most apparent—only through clear goals, measures, and KPIs can activities within the company be systematically managed.
