Sustainable Business Practices for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
The Sustainability in Practice Network engages in activities and awareness raising with respect to sustainable development amongst SMEs in the WestFocus region. This is done via specific project work, driven by our academics in partnership with similarly-minded external organisations.
Following the work of Dr Ros Taylor and Dr. Simon Bray, Kingston University linked up with Surrey Chambers of Commerce to create the Surrey Sustainable Business Partnership SSBP. The SSBP mainly provides environmental advice to small and medium enterprises based in Surrey. |
