Abstract
SMEs contribute substantially to global employment and economic growth. Yet constraints
such as lack of capital, human resources and knowledge capability have rendered SMEs
operationally incapacitated to report on environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements.
In this policy paper, we first highlight SMEs’ key challenges as they try to recover
from crises post-COVID-19. Next, we propose policy actions and recommendations to
address such challenges by discussing the effectiveness of best practice frameworks that
will help SMEs in sustainable strategy development. Additionally, we propose better policy
frameworks to enable SMEs to report on ESGs and contribute to specific SDGs.
