Abstract:
As sustainability reporting and management rapidly increase in importance, SME managers must learn
how to integrate sustainability issues and reporting into their businesses. This paper offers an overview of
an accessible organized approach that SME management can use to begin. The B Lab’s “B Impact
Assessment” offers a method that could suit resource constraints typical of many SMEs with its
presentation of key sustainability issues in a format oriented toward smaller companies.
