2. Sectoral ESG Relevance Map

The sectoral ESG relevance map: a knowledge platform for SMEs that brings together the most relevant aspects for each sector. In addition, each of the environmental, social, and governance issues is illustrated with best practices developed by companies that can serve as inspiration for SMEs that are making progress in these areas. Inspired by international standards and initiatives, the map provides users with information on which indicators and tools are most appropriate for integrating sustainability into the organization’s management from the triple perspective of environmental, social, and governance.

3. ASG self-diagnostic tool and report on the current maturity of SMEs in Spain

In recent years, there has been growing interest in assessing the level of commitment of small and medium-sized enterprises to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.

Conese has collaborated with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the development of the “ASG Self-Diagnosis Tool for SMEs.”

Access the tool here.

This tool provides a questionnaire to help SMEs assess their level of maturity in relation to social, environmental, and good governance sustainability. The tool also provides companies with recommendations for continuing to advance their sustainability management.

With more than 700 responses to the self-assessment tool, the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with Conese, has developed the “Report on the status of ASG in Spanish SMEs.”
